President Taft, as Solomon, holds a baby elephant labeled “G.O.P.” aloft in one hand and a large sword labeled “Party Cleaver” in the other. One man labeled “Stand-Patter” pleads for Solomon Taft to spare the elephant. Another man labeled “Insurgent” stands to the right looking concerned, but not pleading for mercy.
