Theodore Roosevelt, dressed as a cowboy, stands on the Western United States and has lassoed a spire arising from the “White House” with a rope labeled “Popularity.” His belt is labeled “Stability.” His gun holster is labeled “For political game.” Flying out of his saddle bag are speeches: “Stand Pat with Prosperity Speech, Prosperity Speeches, Clean Political Speeches, Common-Sense Speeches, Sound-Money Speech, Stick to Republican Prosperity, and Business Should not be Disturbed by Political Fanatics.” Caption: If our strenuous President perseveres in the line he has chosen for himself it will eventually land him at the WHITE HOUSE for another FOUR years.
