Aircraft accidents

The wreck of an airship labeled “High Finance” appears at the leading edge of storm clouds labeled “Investigation [and] Merger Decision Law.” The crash has ruined the blades that lifted or propelled the airship, labeled “Over Capitalization, Manipulation, Ship Building Trust, Steel Trust, [and] Northern Securities,” and has brought down six men (“Morgan, Schwab, M’Cook, Harriman, Schiff, [and] Hill”) with the wreckage and two men (“Dresser [and] Nixon”) in a swamp labeled “Ship Trust Receivership.” A lightning bolt labeled “Publicity” flashes from the clouds.

John Campbell Greenway feels that he has not seen Theodore Roosevelt in a long time and is determined to meet the next time he is on the East Coast. He visited Robert Harry Munro Ferguson and Isabella Ferguson recently. Ferguson seemed in general good health but he is not interested in seeing many people. Greenway expects the Democrats to win the next election and then Roosevelt to lead the progressive Republicans to victory in four years.
