President Roosevelt tells William H. Taft “I’m getting disgusted with you, too, Bill Taft,” as he runs from “Oyster Bay” on “Sept. 22” with his big stick chasing Senator Joseph Benson Foraker and Frank H. Hitchcock. In Foraker’s hand is the “Standard Oil exposure.” Meanwhile, Taft says, “Foraker! Foraker! Foraker! Foraker! Foraker!” as he thinks back to “Sept. 2nd at Toledo, Ohio” where he shakes Foraker’s hand and both men say, “There never was any ill feeling between us,” as Roosevelt looks on and says, “Delighted.”
