Description
A road sign posted on a fence reads "To the Governor's Seat in 1912" above an elephant wearing a saddle labeled "For the Reg. Rep. Candidate" crouching in the road. Armed groups on either side of the road representing Charles Deneen and Charles Merriam, Republicans seeking their party's nomination, prepare to attack as the Democratic donkey watches from a distance with additional attackers.
Political cartoonist Harold R. Heaton depicts the two warring Republican factions, those supporting University of Chicago political scientist Charles E. Merriam and sitting governor Charles S. Deneen (1905-1913), blocking the path to the capital, while the Democrats look on from the sidelines.
