President Roosevelt attempts to ride on a Republican elephant “to the White House 1904,” but he is stopped by a large caricature of a native American holding “Indian Territory—for sale cheap,” an “Indian lands grab” sword, and a sign that reads “Fine oil property—mineral lands for sale—Bixby & Co.” There are two feathers in his hat: “the Dawes Commission” and “Indian land for sale—Dawes Com.”
