Puck as Diogenes carries a lantern and a lithographic pen and seeks the perfect mayor for New York City. At center Puck gets the opinion of “The Republican Machine” (Thomas Collier Platt with the tail and ears of a fox) and “Tammany” Hall (Richard Croker with the tail and ears of the Tammany Tiger). In the surrounding vignettes, he hears the opinions of “The Sunday Closers” who respect the Sabbath, “The Reformers” who seek “a man of the highest ideals … and irreproachable character!” and have “Seth Low” at the top of their list, as well as “The Germans” and “The Bicyclers,” before returning to the “Office of Puck,” somewhat dismayed. Caption: Diogenes Puck starts out to find him, and gets a lot of varied information on the subject.
