President Roosevelt directs an orchestra as he holds a “nomination a cinch” paper. Secretary of Commerce and Labor George B. Cortelyou, Elihu Root, Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, and Frank Swett Black all play instruments. Cortelyou plays a “fat frying pan” while Black plays a “G. O. P.” drum. They each read music with headings of “The fat,” “Issues,” “Platform. Stand pat,” and “Nomination speech.”
