Charles A. Schieren walks toward city hall labeled “Brooklyn,” carrying a book labeled “Business Administration Schieren.” In the foreground, Whitelaw Reid is straddling a trunk labeled “To Salt River,” on which three men are sitting. He implores Schieren not to “forget the boys!!” The three men are of the “boss” or “walking delegate” type and their political careers appear to be over as they are headed up “Salt River,” as the new mayoral administration of Schieren gets underway. Caption: Political Adviser–For goodness’s sake! Don’t forget the boys!!
