President Roosevelt and Uncle Sam listen to a “public opinion” gramophone that projects, “relief from oppressive trusts—a square deal for all, both white and black—honesty and efficiency—no foreign entanglements—retrenchment—economy.” The side of the gramophone says, “Xmas present to Theodore Roosevelt and Uncle Sam from the people.” In the background a number of man dance around a Christmas tree with different ornaments, including “larger navy,” “plenty,” “full work,” “peace,” and “army.”
