President Taft, as a photographer, works in a darkroom illuminated by a small red light labeled “Public Support,” developing glass plates labeled “Progressive Measures.” One labeled “Tariff Reform Plate” is “Botched.” He is using “Cannon Developer” and “Aldrich Fixing Bath,” which he gets from bottles shaped like the heads of Joseph Cannon and Nelson W. Aldrich. Caption: An amateur photographer who spoils good plates by using bad chemicals.
