“Have You Gentlemen Any Idea When You’re To Get Off?”  07/26/1912From the Clifford Berryman Political Cartoon Collection 

The second session of the 62nd Congress began on December 4, 1911, and as the 1912 election neared, there was no end in sight. This cartoon has Uncle Sam dressed as a train conductor asking the House and Senate when they will adjourn so members could return home to campaign.
