Summary

Illustration shows Theodore Roosevelt, looking somewhat devilish, as a minister standing in a pool labeled "Teddyism", attempting to pull the Republican elephant in for an immersion baptism; there is a small "Third-Party Choir" standing behind him composed of "Perkins, Munsey, Pinchot, [and] Garfield". President Taft and others labeled "Sherman, Barnes, Lodge, Penrose, Crane, Root, [and] McKinley" are holding the elephant back. There are crowds of people watching from a boardwalk, wharf, and a nearby pavilion.

Caption: Third-Party Choir "And sinners bathed beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains."
Illus. in: Puck, v. 72, no. 1849 (1912 August 7), centerfold.
