At a bullfight, Theodore Roosevelt is the bull surrounded by picadors and banderilleros labeled “La Follette, Root, Taft, Sherman, Bryan, Watterson, [and] Crane,” and William Barnes, who is unidentified. The men are thrusting lances and banderillas into the bull, while the matador, Woodrow Wilson, waits in the upper right background to finish it off. Caption: When the picadors sufficiently puncture him, the matador will finish him.
