Political cartoon - Joseph Chamberlain as jockey

Who is Going to Ride it?~~~~Joseph Chamberlain watches on in amusement as three jockeys (including Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (seated) and Herbert Henry Asquith) attempt to mount an old blindfolded racehorse (symbolising the ruling government, labelled the Radical Party'), which has been entered for the General Election Stakes'! An amusing satirical political cartoon by Harry Furniss showing the future Liberal Prime Minister (Campbell-Bannerman) and his Chancellor (Asquith) (the duo which won the 1906 election) being observed by Chamberlain, who had resigned from government in September 1903 in order to campaign for Tariff Reform
