Item Description
Hake #112. 1.5” complete with the back paper covered in text poking fun at the “G.O.P. ‘White’ Elephant” and the party’s “Healthy” budget deficit of 41 million dollars. The cartoon design abounds in political symbols and slogans. The white elephant representing the party stands atop a football representing the “People” with additional text “Rah! Rah!! Rah!!! A Safety’s The Score/Parker & Davis/1904.” The elephant’s feet are bound with a metal band reading “Protection” and this leads to a ball and chain with the caption “The Trusts.” The primary rim inscription is “Uncle Sam’s ‘White’ Elephant-It’s Game-It’s Finish.” The platform and blanket on the elephant’s back refer to “Rooseveltism-Grand Old Pirate.” NM displaying Mint. An outstanding example.
