President Roosevelt holds Illinois Democratic Representative Henry Thomas Rainey over his knee as the president holds up a hot “liar” brand. Rainey holds a paper that reads, “Congressman Rainey’s speech on ‘job’ in the Panama railroad deal.” Roosevelt says, “Always room for one more!” In the background, another man has “liar” branded on his rear end and stands under an “Ananias Club” sign.
