President Roosevelt at Des Moines

Subject(s): Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

President Roosevelt hands back a crying baby to its mother, while turning to look at the next baby being thrust at him. A long line of mothers, each with one or more children, have already met Roosevelt and the line of mothers waiting extends off the edge of the cartoon. Caption: What does he think about race suicide now?
