A comparison

Two panels compare the amount of money the public spends on political campaigns to the amount they spend on the average weekend football game. The first panel depicts a football stadium full of spectators. A second panel shows John Davis and Robert La Follette pointing to the G.O.P. elephant holding a bag of money, while each talks to a voter.
