A statue of President Roosevelt stands on a plinth, holding “the big stick” and “the Earth.” New York Senator Thomas Collier Platt lies on the ground pointing accusingly at New York Governor Benjamin B. Odell holds a “governor” sword. In the background, Abraham Gruber, Lemuel Ely Quigg, and John Raines brandish their swords and walk away.
