Uncle Sam sweeps the steps of Congress as the various politicians and interest groups leave. President Taft is in the upper right hand corner, waving cheerfully. Theodore Roosevelt is next to Taft and holding a copy of The Outlook. A tower labeled “Oyster Bay” is behind Roosevelt. In the caption, Uncle Sam says, “I’m glad it’s all over.”
