Fitzjxitrick Rated America's
Most Outspoken Cartoonist9
D. R. Fitzpatrick, who will be
the featured speaker along with
Irving Dilliard at the annual
journalism awards banquet sched
uled for Thursday, Oct. 9, is a
slight, sandy-haired, red-faced
Irishman. What distinguishes
Fitzpatrtck from any other Irish
man is the fact that he is prob
ably the most ouUpokcn cartoon
ist in America. And his Irish
trait for blunt speech, or more
properly, a sharp pen, has made
him perhaps the greatest cartoon
ist in the country.
Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick is the
editorial cartoonist of the St. Louis
Fost-Dispateh. His drawings are
syndicated in 35 American news
papers, and have been greeted
with vituperation, argument or
praise in every country of the
world where newspapers and
magazines are printed.
Kcnoir, Gauguin and Fitzpatrick.
Fitzpatrick's achievements in
the realm of editorial cartooning
are noteworthy. He won the John
Frederick Lewis prize of the
Philadelphia Academy of Fine arts
In 1924 and the Pulitzer prize in
1926. There are Fitzpatricks in
museums, libraries, and in the
hands of private collectors all
over the world, and eight of his
works are hanging among the
Renoirs and Gauguins inthe Mu
seum of Western Art in Moscow.

draftsmanship and Dore-like spa
ciousness are, if not art, something
very close to it," says "Who's Who
in American Art."
In more than 10,000 cartoons in
his paper and in Collier's maga
zines, Fitzpatrick has "whittled
down the most complicated eco
nomic, political and social issues
into a simple strokes of his black
crayon." The day Prohibition
went on the lawbooks he produced
his most sUrtling sketch, the
Statue of Liberty diving into the
Atlantic, and for years he cam
paigned violently against the dry
laws.
During the depression his car
toons were particularly striking.
Under the title of "Our Great Ma

showed a ponderous industrial
mechanism letting down a great
