Can't Run the Thing: Wanted—A good up-to-date chauffeur—one who understands the modern machine. American preferred. Apply to Cuba.

This political cartoon, titled "Can't Run the Thing," was created by Victor Gillam and published in the satirical magazine Judge in 1903. The image depicts a disheveled figure representing the Cuban government sitting next to an overturned automobile labeled "Cuban Government." The automobile has crashed off the "Sound Government Road" and lies damaged against rocks labeled "Cuba's Lack of Financial Resources." In the foreground, a figure symbolizing the United States, dressed in an Uncle Sam suit, observes the scene from a distance with concern. A "U.S. Exporter" has likewise been thrown from the car and lies damaged in a ditch.
