President Roosevelt removes a mask depicting himself as a Quaker and bows in front of an elephant. The elephant wears an “imperialism” crown, a “postal fraud” mailbag and a “pension order” money bag on the elephant’s front two legs, and has “deficit,” “Addicks,” “extravagance,” and “subsidies” bandages. The elephant also wears a “tariff wall” and “the new diplomacy” seat, and grasps “the big stick” with its trunk, which also wears a “Littauer” glove.
