Cartoon shows bears running amok in Colorado. Senator Patterson tells the tales to President Roosevelt as he cleans his gun. Caption: Senator Patterson has told Mr. Roosevelt that the northern part of Colorado is fairly overrun by bears; that bears prevail everywhere in large and devastating numbers; they prowl about with the utmost impudence, drinking whisky, eating up rabbits and chickens, even slipping down goats and hogs in the wild exuberance of dissipation. They are at once the terror and the affliction of the entire region. They go where they please, do what fancy prompts and otherwise appall the very oldest citizens. Northern Colorado is simply crying out for Mr. Roosevelt quite as loudly as Mr. Roosevelt is crying out for bears. – The Washington Post
