The political cartoon from 1899 depicts new york politician richard "boss" croker: what is the message of this political cartoon? pls me! a politics is the central topic in new york b political leaders are treated like celebrities in new york. c political machines are at the center of urban politics. d political machines make new york a brighter place.

The cartoon represents that Politics leaders are treated like celebrities in New York because it shows Richard Croker as if he is the sun in the centre of the cartoon and the people thta it is around him represent the population. And the people sems to be like in the darkness and even though they do not have the same benefits than the politician has, they are all looking at him, paying attention to his brightness and admiring him.

i believe we're not a republic so that is a hard question
