Things to consider:

• The parties were very different than they are today. This was before the Republican Southern Strategy of appealing to racism
• In fact, in the election map above, the South was won by the Democratic candidate; the Republican candidate won the North and the election
• Condo (the creator of the strip) was born in Illinois and later worked in Ohio

Everett’s opinions align well with the Progressives of the early 20th century. Both Republicans and Democrats had progressives amongst themselves at that time, so I bet his vote varied based on the candidates rather than being hardstuck one party.

Started his own party, called it Bald Moose, Roosevelt sued for copyright infringement, Everett ignored it.
