President Wilson appears as a police officer with William Jennings Bryan behind him as they walk down a street lined with buildings labeled “Crooked Business, Food Adulteration, Public Land Graft, [and] The Pork Barrel.” They are watched closely by men looking out doorways and windows, including two men labeled “Flim Flam Finance” and “Tariff Graft.” Caption: The political underworld doesn’t quite know where it is at. Just how much will the new man stand for?
