A ghost depicting Theodore Roosevelt stands behind the figure of Hugh Johnson, who wears the emblem of the National Recovery Administration. Roosevelt holds a hat in one hand, and in the other grasps several figures with labels on them which say “Malefactor of Great Wealth,” “Liar,” “Nature Fakir,” and “Undesirable Citizen.” He speaks to Hugh Johnson, who has two similar figures with labels in his hand, as well as another seven on the table in front of him, and says, “Hugh, you’re just bully! I was only a common piker!” The cartoon seems to suggest that while Roosevelt has a few terms he likes to “pull out of his hat,” so to speak, Johnson has many more that he uses in his invective.
