President Roosevelt wears a life vest and pulls out rope from the “Administration’s Support” bucket to extend a “Hot Air” life preserver into the ocean of “Taft’s Campaign.” Assisting to let out the line are New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes, Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon, Secretary of Commerce Oscar S. Straus, and Secretary of State Elihu Root. “Democratic Opposition” lightning strikes above.
