Ljubljana Municipal Elections And Shameless Cartoons
Keywords:
Ljubljana, Jutro, electionsAbstract
On 23 April 1911, women were allowed to vote in person for the first time in the municipal elections in Ljubljana. Incidents occurred at the women’s polling station in the girls’ lycée (an attack on the Ursulines by supporters of the National Progressive Party). On 25 April 1911, the Executive Committee of the Slovene People’s Party issued a statement of protest and declared a political boycott of the Liberal Party. Before the elections, the newspapers Jutro and Slovenski narod published a few cartoons, while Slovenec published small satirical cartoons alongside songs. Most of the cartoons in the Jutro were by Maksim Gaspari. This was the first time in the history of Slovenian newspapers that two opposing political camps waged a political struggle using cartoons.
