Letter from Stephen O’Meara to Theodore Roosevelt

Police Commissioner O’Meara explains to President Roosevelt that he felt it was necessary for his son to have a formal trial in order to avoid any appearance of favoritism and to quell rumors in the press. Ted was declared innocent of the charge of assaulting a police officer, but he withheld the name of a friend whom police believed to be the culprit. O’Meara denies allegations that Ted was assaulted by a member of the Boston police force.

The new policeman on the beat – the monopoly gang defies him!

A policeman from the “New Chicago Anti-Monopoly Party” holds a broken nightstick labeled “Popular Support.” He is standing on a sidewalk at “Vanderbilt’s Monopoly Car Yard,” confronting a gang of monopolists that includes, among others, Jay Gould, William H. Vanderbilt, Cyrus W. Field, John Roach, Russell Sage, and an “Anti-Monopoly Grocery Monopolist” Francis B. Thurber. Gang members hold handguns and rocks. Puck, holding a club labeled “Only Support,” stands with the policeman. A flag that states “No Thoroughfare for Small Business Men” hangs from a building. An injured or dead man, identified as a “Small Business Man,” is lying in the street.
