Founded in 1906, the year before this cartoon (by an obscure artist) was published, the Atlanta Georgian newspaper was founded by Hoke Smith, who had been active in state and national Democratic politics since the 1890s. Eventually he and his ally Senator Thomas E. Watson shared two interests: noxious racist politics (such as placing false and incendiary stories about blacks in the paper in order to foment racial violence and disenfranchisement), and regional railroad rate reform. The latter was one of the president’s legislative and regulatory goals.
