Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker raises an “amendment” toward President Roosevelt. Foraker is behind a small hill that has the sign of “Foraker’s Forte” with a “Brownsville Affair” flag. Roosevelt fires his revolver in his left hand and holds a “special message” sword in his right hand as he says, “Surrender, haul down that flag!!”
