“Teddy” Roosevelt spurs a bucking horse which is branded “Rough Riders” on its right hip, while Thomas Collier Platt looks on from behind a wall. Roosevelt’s lariat forms the phrase “Nomination for Governor.” The caption reads: Uncle Tom Platt – “My, What stunts! I wish that fellow would stop. He makes me awful nervous.”
