President Roosevelt takes a walk with a male companion. The page is broken into five numbered frames. Roosevelt is speaking in each frame and becoming more and more animated. As he does so, he rapidly outdistances his companion. In the last frames, Roosevelt says, “I tell you, sir, Congress is a weakling-g-g!” “They are all deliberate and unqualified falsifiers.” However, his walking companion is left far behind.
