The revival of an ancient skin game / Keppler.

Illustration shows President Taft as the biblical figure Jacob wearing robes labeled "Progressivism" and goat skins labeled "Delegates", kneeling before the Republican elephant labeled "G.O.P." as the aged biblical figure Isaac, who is feeling the skins worn by Taft. To the left is a steaming dish of "Savory Politics" that Jacob presented to Isaac; standing in the background are three men, two are identified as "Barnes" and "Sherman", and standing just right of center is Elihu Root as the biblical figure "Rebekah", who looks anxious at the approach of "Teddy" as the biblical figure Esau, with a deer over his shoulders labeled "Popularity".

Illus. in: Puck, v. 71, no. 1846 (1912 July 17), centerfold.
