A large cut-out of an elephant, labeled “Republican Partisanship,” is propped up by boards labeled “Patronage” and “Party Platform.” A similar cut-out of a donkey, labeled “Democratic Partisanship,” is also propped up by boards labeled “Safe and Sane” and “Party Platform.” Both are also supported by men labeled “Privilege.” Men labeled “Rep Boss” and “Dem Boss” stand next to their respective symbols, pointing to them. Crowds have gathered before each cut-out. In the background is a bright sun labeled “Patriotism” and surrounded with the phrase: “The Greatest Good for the Greatest Number.”
