The book was meant to make fun of new math ideas the author didn't like. A Caucusis politicians seeing who would win an election, but it isn't an election, so it doesn't really do anything for them.

The Caucus race is meant to be pointless, although in the book they actually did dry off during it, but everyone won, so Alice had to share some of her candy with everyone.
