President Roosevelt and Senator “Pitchfork” Benjamin R. Tillman, identifiable by their footwear, Rough Rider leggings and a farmer’s hobnail boots, are buried underneath a pile of trash as they hold up “the big stick” and a pitchfork. Various scraps of paper have words on them: “liar,” “thief,” “fraud,” and “spite work.”
