Title

Admiration

Description

A large man labeled "BIG BUSINESS" sits in a dollar sign chair ("$"), smiling at a bird perch. The bird has the human face of "HARDING" (William G. Harding), and is perched and chained to the "G.O.P. PLATFORM". Behind him is a table with scattered papers, and a man ("THE "OLD GUARD"") leans against a cage on the table and says to BIG BUSINESS, "IT WILL BE GREAT SPORT TEACHING HIM TO TALK!" (refering to HARDING). He smokes a cigarrette (?) and smiles- a spiton in the foreground is already full of butts. The cage he leans on is labelled "FROM MARION, OHIO" (where William G. Harding is from).
