President Roosevelt is driving an automobile labeled “U.S. Government,” with Secretary of War Taft seated next to him in the front and Uncle Sam in the back seat. Behind them is the aftermath of their ‘reckless driving’: a wagon labeled “Panama,” a man labeled “Cuban Revolution,” and a cow labeled “Beef.” They have just run over a man labeled “Brownsville affair” and are headed for a chicken reading “Storer.” Caption: Chauffeur Teddy, – “Anything Ahead Bill?”
