Presidential hopefuls labeled “Davis, Tillman, Chandler, Lodge, Quay, Frye, Wolcutt, Turpie, Hoar, Morgan, [and] Hill” are wading through a swamp labeled “Financial Buncombe, Jingoism, Blunders, Demagogism, [and] Brag,” chasing a glowing chair with wings labeled “Presidency.” Puck, standing on the side of “Statesmanship Highway,” tells them they are taking the wrong way to the White House. Caption: Puck–My short-sighted friends, none of you will ever reach the White House by that road!
