Each of the four 1904 presidential and vice-presidential candidates are drawn with a coat of arms and a descriptive word. President Roosevelt’s word is “imperial,” Indiana Senator Charles W. Fairbank’s word is “splendor,” Alton B. Parker’s word is “Jeffersonian,” and Henry Gassaway Davis’s word is “simplicity.”
