I wish I could remember half the things Benson said about Maynard after he had deserted us. I have seldom seen anything more invigorating than Benson mad. But he did not let his indignation interfere with business. It was far along towards morning, but he set to work at once. He wrote to Lipsky promising to support him, and then began sketching cartoons and posters.
One was a picture of Root selling a girl in "parlor clothes" to "The Old Man." Another read:
"VOTE FOR LIPSKY
if you have a daughter!
Vote for the RED LIGHTS!
Vote for the CADETS!
VOTE FOR DECENCY!"
But the best were a series:
"ASK ROOT
where he was on the evening of September Third?"
