Chairman of the Republican National Committee George B. Cortelyou, on leaving the “Republican Headquarters,” encounters a crowd of people, including women, immigrants, and African Americans. Each wants to see him about something they can offer to the campaign for “Teddy,” pictured on the wall in the background: poems, songs, a “brudder” who is “a good speecher.” Caption: Cortelyou will have to contend with some new talent in the novelty line.
