Description:	In the middle of the Wisconsin Primaries race, Senator Bob La Follette, Jr., changes mounts. He climbs onto an elephant representing the Republican nomination, leaving behind a horse representing the Wisconsin Progressive Party. The Shade of Old Bob (Robert La Follette, Sr.) looks down from heaven. La Follette, Sr., had moved from the Republican Party to the Progressive Party during his own political career. McCarthy and Stearns watch the race from the G.O.P. Candidates platform; they each assert that they are going to ride the elephant. La Follette, Robert M.
