Woodrow Wilson as a cowboy holds a rope to lasso a bucking horse labeled “Congress,” which has thrown lame duck president William H. Taft, who sits on the ground in tattered clothing. Next to Taft is a letter that states, “Dear William, Come over and have a seat in my Kent Chair of Law. Yours- Yale.” Caption: The Tenderfoot–Ride the beast if you want to. I’m through. Me for a more restful seat!
