Here, the Democratic national ticket of 1904 is presented as a circus show to fool (“bulldoze”) the voting public. The promotional images on the curtain portray presidential nominee Alton B. Parker (left) and vice-presidential nominee Henry G. Davis (right) as strongmen who will uphold “Sound Money” (i.e., the gold standard) and “Clean Politics.” The word “trusts” (i.e., large business corporations) is tattooed backward on Parker’s chest. Sitting atop the Democratic Donkey is financier August B. Belmont Jr., Parker’s campaign treasurer, appearing as the circus barker and wearing a jockey’s uniform (he was a major breeder of racehorses). David B. Hill, Parker’s campaign manager, sits by the padlocked voting box and holds a paper announcing his retirement from “show business” (i.e., politics) after the election. |
