President Roosevelt pokes Edward Henry Harriman, who is reading a book, “My Letters to T.R. by Harriman,” sitting in the “truth” pew. Beside Harriman is a paper entitled “T.R.’s Letters to Me” and a top hat. The pew in front of Harriman is labeled “falsehood.” Behind the two men are several chuckling individuals and a sign that reads, “Daily Political Experience Meeting for the Benefit of the Public.”
