Former President Theodore Roosevelt and Senator George E. Chamberlain use a battering ram, identified as “Republican drive,” to try to open the door to President Woodrow Wilson’s office. A sign on the office door indicates that the war council is meeting and that there is no admittance.
Comments and Context
Although a Democrat, Senator Chamberlain was a longtime ally and frequent supporter of Roosevelt and his policies. Both men sought to oppose President Wilson’s policies during World War I. Chamberlain served on the Military Affairs Committee and helped draft the Selective Service Act.
