Joseph Bucklin Bishop, editor of The Globe and Commercial Advertiser, forwards a series of cartoons to President Roosevelt. Although he usually sends them to Edith Roosevelt, this series is different, and Bishop thought it worthwhile for the President to see them first. He comments on the possible nomination of Alton B.
