A chariot race is underway, with “Miss Democracy” driving a team of donkeys labeled “Dem. Congressional Campaign” and President “Taft” driving a team of white horses labeled “Rep. Congressional Campaign.” A chariot labeled “Payne-Aldrich Tariff Mess,” driven by Nelson W. Aldrich, has crashed in front of Taft, possibly derailing the Republican campaign in the upcoming Congressional election. Uncle Sam, a woman wearing a red liberty cap, and Puck, among others, watch from a platform in the center of the racetrack.
