“Wild Ted” jumps up in the air as he rides on a Republican elephant hobbyhorse, which says, “O gee, but I feel proud!” President Roosevelt says, “Your canal or your life,” as he holds a revolver and a lasso labeled “party clothes line.” He has a “Dawes” feather in his hair, and his gloves are “compliments of your bosom friend Littauer.” A tag is attached to his pants: “Panama—right or wrong any old way—hands up!” Meanwhile, a frightened “Colombia” holds a “Panama Canal” scroll and says, “I think I prefer Morgan.”
