President Roosevelt plays a trumpet while Indiana Senator Charles W. Fairbanks plays a cello at “the great one-man show concert.” The words “Chicago convention” are crossed out. There is “music for the Roosevelt march to the tune of ‘Mr. Dooley.'” Fairbanks’s music is for the “second fiddle to the tune of Roosevelt to be played very soft and low.” A “trust” man looks on and puts a bouquet of flowers on the stage.
