This cartoon is split into two halves, labeled 1900 and 1904. On the left half, depicting 1900, Thomas Collier Platt, one of the political bosses of the Republican party, throws a lasso labeled “Vice-Presidency” around Theodore Roosevelt. On the right side, depicting 1904, there is a similar picture of Theodore Roosevelt throwing a lasso labeled “Vice-Presidency” around Mark Hanna. This cartoon makes reference to the episode where Boss Platt sought to constrain Theodore Roosevelt’s political ambitions by making him William McKinley’s vice president, and suggests there is an echo of this in 1904 when Roosevelt seeks to similarly restrict Mark Hanna, who was thought to have presidential ambitions. (In another version of the cartoon, Berryman replaces Platt with Hanna in 1900.)
