Summary
Cartoon shows Republican House Majority Leader Sereno Payne and a Republican elephant sweating in the top of a tree labeled "Sugar Trust." The roots of the tree are labeled "Dutch Standard," "Cartel," and "Bounty." Below the tree stands Thayer holding a Democratic donkey wearing blinders and wearing a blanket labeled "Resolution March 12th."
