A rotund Uncle Sam with “Belmont’s tips” in his back pocket looks at a shorter Uncle Sam that has a “guide to Taggart’s gambling resorts” in his back pocket. On the ground is a “ballot box” that is “stuffed to order.” Caption: In yesterday’s cartoon I showed the three Uncle Sams—the farmer, the merchant and the laboring man—who will elect Roosevelt. To-day’s cartoon shows the two Uncle Sams who are opposed to Roosevelt.— Homer Davenport.
