In a boxing ring, Uncle Sam is the referee for a boxing match between Theodore Roosevelt, with his campaign manager Joseph M. Dixon, on the right, and President William H. Taft, with his campaign manager William Brown McKinley, on the left. Standing at the back of the ring are challengers to the winner of the match: “Harmon, Clark, Wilson, [and] Underwood” as the Democratic hopefuls in the upcoming presidential election. William Jennings Bryan, between the ropes, appears to be climbing out of the ring. Caption: Referee Sam — It gives me great pleasure to announce to you that Battling Wilson of New Jersey, Kid Harmon of Ohio, Fighting Underwood of Alabama, and Scrapper Clark of Missouri, will challenge the winner of this bout!
