Theodore Roosevelt, astride a horse with “Wyoming” on its bridle, leads a number of lassoed cattle behind him, each with the name of a state on it. One cow, with Alabama written on it, rises up and says, “I don’t see how I can get out of this.” A teddy bear holding a bag walks alongside Roosevelt. This cartoon is likely a reference to Theodore Roosevelt’s massive success in the 1904 presidential election, which saw him capture the electoral votes of the Northern and Western states, leading to his second term as president.
