President Roosevelt’s head is on a spider’s body that sits near the center of a web with the United States Capitol building. Off to the left in the Washington Monument and a democratic donkey fly that says, “You haven’t got me yet!” The “G. O. P.” elephant fly is close to the center and says, “I give up!!” Caption: Washington is laid out like a cart wheel, or it is a spider’s web?
