A hand labeled “Protective Tariff League” sprinkles salt from a bag labeled “Sophistry Salt” onto the tail feathers of a red, white, and blue bird labeled “First Voter” in an effort to capture the bird. Reproduced in the upper left corner is a card, “Circular no. 216,” addressed to “Dear Sir” and instructing him to provide the name and home address of a “person who will cast his first vote” in the 1908 election. The Protective Tariff League, the issuer of the cards, would like to be able to forward information “on the Subject of Protection.” It is signed “Yours truly, American Protective Tariff League, 339 Broadway, New York.”
