Still true to his colors

Subject(s): Mud, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919

President Roosevelt holds “the big stick square deal.” Behind him is a “muck rake,” a “white wash brush” dipped into “everything lovely,” and a “weekly mud slinger” paper. Flies buzz around. A sign on a fence reads, “Read the ‘Weekly Gutter’ fierce attacks on everybody. Mud, mud, mud. Whitewash for our friends.”
