President Roosevelt looks at a statue of George Washington with a sign that reads, “George Washington–He could not tell a lie.”
James Calvert Smith, who seldom drew a complimentary cartoon about President Roosevelt, might have regretted the imminent end of the administration’s second term; cartoonists have favorite targets when deadlines loom.
South Carolina Senator Benjamin R. Tillman covers his eyes with his left hand and holds up a broken pitchfork in his right as he stands on a pedestal. Caption: Posed by Senator Tillman–Suggested to President Roosevelt’s New Art Commission.
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South Carolina held a pitchfork in cartoonist Floyd W. Triggs’s statue because the senator (proudly) had earned the nickname “Pitchfork Ben” after once wishing to stick President Grover Cleveland, a fellow Democrat, with a pitchfork into a sack of beef fat. During a long career in politics he proudly admitted to scheming the disenfranchisement of blacks, and advocating lynching. In much of the country he was odious, except, obviously, in his home state.
James Nicol Dunn asks Seth Low if President Roosevelt and Secretary of State John Hay would allow their names to be included on a committee to erect a statue to English poet William Ernest Henley.
