How did the Dodo get help everyone get dry in Alice in Wonderland?
He organised a Caucus-race'....the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race.'`What IS a Caucus-race?' said Alice....`Why,' said the Dodo, `the best way to explain it is to do it.'....First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, (`the exact shape doesn't matter,' it said,) and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no `One, two, three, and away,' but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out `The race is over!' and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, `But who has won?'
In what ways could the caucus race in Alice in Wonderland be interpreted as satirical?
'Caucus' can be defined as "A meeting...of persons belonging to a party, to nominate candidates for public office, or to select delegates to a nominating convention, or to confer regarding measures of party policy."source: wiktionary (see related link)So a 'caucus race' might be a race for political office. By describing it as chaotic, confusing and seemingly pointless, Carroll is probably satirising party politics. There is no apparent sense in the proceedings and the 'rules' are arbitrarily defined by the Dodo, who might represent the role of the monarch during an election.It has been suggested that the presentation of Alice's own thimble to her as a prize, might symbolise the habit of government taking money from the people in the form of taxes, and then returning it to them in the form of social projects.

Meaning of caucus-race in Alice in Wonderland?
Alice wins a thimble in the caucus-race. ...she must have a prize herself, you know,' said the Mouse. `Of course,' the Dodo replied very gravely. `What else have you got in your pocket?' he went on, turning to Alice. `Only a thimble,' said Alice sadly. `Hand it over here,' said the Dodo. Then they all crowded round her once more, while the Dodo solemnly presented the thimble, saying `We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble'; and, when it had finished this short speech, they all cheered. Alice thought the whole thing very absurd, but they all looked so grave that she did not dare to laugh; and, as she could not think of anything to say, she simply bowed, and took the thimble, looking as solemn as she could.
