There is a flurry of activity in Washington, D.C., with people running around and an “express wagon” and “florist.” A number of signs are posted: “Bulletin—It is proposed to run Mr. Longworth for governor of Ohio,” “Later!! He has just been mentioned for U.S. Senator,” “Bulletin—A real lace hat from Paris has just arrived via messenger boy,” and “Important bulletin—Mr. Longworth has just lighted another cigar. Great excitement prevails.” A newsboy holds a newspaper that reads, “Extra—Nick has just had a sandwich.”
