Osborn, Chase S. (Chase Salmon), 1860-1949

Mark Sullivan sends Theodore Roosevelt an article clipped from the Wall Street Journal related to an exhibit of objectionable advertisements in the New York World about which he wrote to Roosevelt previously. While the previous advertisements were medical in nature, the new article relates to financial advertisements, and Sullivan feels that the newspaper is overall very vulnerable to criticism. Sullivan recalls that some of the World‘s animosity toward Roosevelt may have come from the effort of his administration to put “the very worst class of medical fakers” out of business, which hurt the newspaper’s advertising revenue.

In the center of a circus ring are nine rotund figures representing trusts, high tariffs, and political graft, who are balancing on the shoulders of one consumer. A tenth figure, the “coal strike,” prepares to join in. President Taft watches, seated beside a giant sheep labeled “Schedule K.” New York Senator Elihu Root watches from the other side of the ring. In the foreground, Theodore Roosevelt leads a procession of six supporters, while “Gov. Osborn” has just left the queue and is climbing on the “Taft Band Wagon.” Inscribed below is the line, “7 little governors all in a mix one got cold feet and then there were six.”
