President Roosevelt holds a sack and has a sign tied around his neck, “Specials today: Inheritance Tax, Income Tax, Federal Control of Mineral Lands.” In the foreground a Teddy bear rips out pages of a “Democratic Recipe Book” while William Jennings Bryan says, “I always said he was a Democrat.” The cow beside Bryan says, “My book!”
Theodore Roosevelt is touched by Richard Heber Newton’s support. Roosevelt agrees with Newton’s position on the mineral lands and will forward Newton’s letter to George W. Kirchwey so that it can be added as a plank to the platform. Roosevelt would have included the position in his speech, but the speech has already been printed.
