George F. Hoar sits on the U.S. Capitol dome using a telegraph to send a “wireless” message “Keep it up! We are with you!” across a body of water to the insurgent forces fighting against American troops in the Philippines. At the base of the Capitol are several men waving “Anti-Expansion” banners.
Republican Senator George Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts was the most prominent sitting politician in the small but influential band of anti-Imperialists following the Spanish-American War. Mark Twain, William Jennings Bryan, and a number of prominent newspaper editors were loudly opposed to expansion. This cartoon by Pughe was published at a time when American troops were dying in American efforts to pacify the Philippines, and suggested that aid and comfort were being telegraphed to the rebels. “Wireless telegraphy” was a recent innovation, so the cartoonist included a popular topic in that regard.
President Roosevelt thanks Cecil Spring Rice for his telegram and wishes he were an ambassador in the United States. Roosevelt would like to discuss the “fifty matters” that have come up with Spring Rice, predominantly about affairs in the far East.
