At the “Republican National Convention,” President Roosevelt presses a button that controls Frank Swett Black who holds a “nominating speech that approves T. R.” New York Senator Thomas Collier Platt and New York Governor Benjamin B. Odell sit beside each other on the stage while Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon receives shocks. Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge holds up “the platform.” Indiana Senator Charles W. Fairbanks is on a wire and wears a sign that reads, “great vice-presidential slide for life.” All the delegates are puppets who vote for “Roosevelt.”
