President Roosevelt sits on the “White House” steps and paints his name on “the full dinner pail” to replace William McKinley’s crossed out name. Ohio Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna holds an “Ohio standpat” kite and points his finger at Roosevelt. Another man with a hat labeled “Butte, Montana,” and a card inviting him to lunch with Roosevelt sits on the other side of the dinner pail.
