The busy season begins

An older woman (the voters) cooks over a wood-burning stove. The woman exclaims, "My! what energetic little boys," as a young G.O.P. elephant and Democratic donkey carry wood (party pledges) to a box filled with wood (political promises). Meanwhile both boys imagine a stocking (1928 presidential election) hanging over a mantle.
