Additional Details

Four early candidates for the 1852 presidential race are shown accosting a hapless voter: Daniel Webster and Sam Houston (who sought the Democratic nomination) and Stephen Douglas and Winfield Scott (who sought the Whig nomination). Scott, looking unusually slender, announces "I licked the British & the Mexicans, if elected I shall probably lick all of Europe." Henry Clay and Millard Fillmore skulk in the background. Reilly 1852-9.
