Letter from Edward E. Higgins to Theodore Roosevelt

Edward E. Higgins believes that President Roosevelt should veto the Naval Appropriations Bill in its entirety if Congress does not provide funding for four battleships. He provides his rationale for this opinion and has spoken about it with Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon who, while initially dismissing the veto as an option, now approves of it.

Grover Cleveland, former mayor of Buffalo and current governor of New York, is a bullfighter standing with his right foot on the head of a bison labeled “Buffalo Democracy” with one dart labeled “Veto Buffalo Fire Dept. Bill” stuck in its side. The weakened buffalo has collapsed on papers that state “Buffalo Politicians’ Demands,” and Cleveland’s red cape is labeled “Firmness.”
