The confusion of tongues

The confusion of tongues. Illustration shows disagreement among many Republicans who were working together to construct a tower labeled Republican Harmony; they have broken off into small factions clustered around building blocks labeled Progressivism with the Republican elephant sitting against it sniffing Smelling Salts, Radicalism over which Munsey and Woodruff are engaged in a discussion, Conservatism on which President Taft sits gesturing toward La Follette who is standing on his head, and Pinchot trying to make a point to Barnes who is facing a diminutive Job Hedges, Standpatism around which Cummins, Cannon, Sherman, Penrose, and Root are involved in a heated discussion, and Meism upon which Theodore Roosevelt is jumping up and down and gesturing wildly. Others present are Dixon and WB McKinley who appear about to come to blows, as are Perkins and Garfield; Lorimer wearing a bandage labeled Vindication addresses Lodge and Gov. Stubbs, and in the background on the right, the man standing on a block addressing a crowd may be Charles W. Fairbanks. The few tools visible sit idle. Date 1912 June 12
