In the first cartoon, a “Beveridge” bottle with a label “not to be uncorked” sits on a shelf labeled “Republican National Committee.” An animal points down at it saying, “They certn’y have missed a treat.” Roosevelt goes to pour another bottle labeled “Burrows” into the “temporary chairmanship” goblet and says, “Ugh!! They’ve opened the wrong bottle.” In the second cartoon, Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks looks at a goblet and says, “Buttermilk for my beverage.”
