Alton B. Parker, William Jennings Bryan, David B. Hill, Arthur P. Gorman, Tammany Hall boss Charles Murphy, William Randolph Hearst, an unidentified rower, and Grover Cleveland sit in an eight-oared racing shell in a race against President Roosevelt, who is rowing as a single sculler in an eight-oared shell. The Democrats are proving to be poor scullers, as they are unable to manage their oars. Caption: Stroke Parker–Now […], boys, get together!
