Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to this cartoon.
<u>Explanation</u>:
1. A steamroller is the object used to represent the scandal. This object is fitting because it used to flatten the surfaces of roads during construction. So, in a way, it shows the flattening effects of the scandal on those involved.
2. The scandal leads to a figurative downward fall of president Warren G. Harding's administration as a result of the Teapot Dome Scandal which negatively affected his administration.
