Sleeping beauty (1912-06-19)

Former Governor of Massachusetts, William L. Douglas, appears as a courtier, gesturing toward a woman labeled "Democratic Victory" on a bed "Asleep Since 1892," and asking Oscar W. Underwood, Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clark, and Judson Harmon which has "a better chance of waking her." Douglas holds a shield with the message "Record: Tariff reform Democrat. Elected Governor of Massachusetts by 35,995 when Roosevelt carried that state against Parker by 92,076." A lady-in-waiting, the Democratic donkey, has fallen asleep at the foot of the bed. The room is filled with cobwebs labeled "Defeat in 1896, Defeat in 1900, Defeat in 1904, [and] Defeat in 1908," and is becoming overgrown with tree roots.
