Two Martians, one holding a telescope and yawning, express relief now that the election for governor of New York has been decided (in favor of Charles Evans Hughes). In the background, on planet Earth, fireworks mark the celebration in New York. Caption: The Martians — Yag be thanked, it’s all over! We can get a little sleep now that we know how the New York election came out.
