Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
This cover of Puckpraises Democratic presidential nominee Woodrow Wilson for dealing with the tariff question. His “fearlessness” and “common sense” rubber gloves allow him to touch the live-wire tariff, while his rivals, Republican William Howard and Progressive Theodore Roosevelt, flee in fear.
