Senator Joseph Benson Foraker shakes hands with William H. Taft as Foraker holds several “speeches ready to deliver.” Taft says, “Dee-lighted!” At the door of the “Taft headquarters” is a sign that reads, “Drop hatchets here.” A donkey looks on from outside and asks, “What d’ you know about that?” while a Republican elephant is jumping for joy.
