New York Senator Chauncey M. Depew points at New York Senator Thomas Collier Platt and laughs. President Roosevelt and New York Governor Benjamin B. Odell sit on a couch in the background and also laugh. There is a picture of Abraham Lincoln on the wall. Caption: “A conference was held last week at the White House, when it was arranged that Benjamin Odell should assume control and re-organize the Republican fences in New York State. Senator Platt is said to resent this, and will be assisted in his fight for Supremacy by Senator Depew.”
