Presidential hopeful John Albert Johnson, as a logger, struggles to break free a jam of logs labeled “Reactionary Democracy, Wall Street Interests, Plutocracy, High Finance, Ryanism, Conservatism, Safe & Sane Fake, [and] Stand Pat Democracy,” which are preventing him from presenting his political agenda at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Caption: “If it weren’t for these cussed logs, I could get my drive down to Denver.”
