World War I cartoon shows Theodore Roosevelt in his Rough Rider attire, typing furiously on a portable typewriter. Puffs of smoke labeled “Sedition! Quitters! Traitors!! Pacifists! [and] Barnacles!” surround him as well as papers labeled “Editorial Correspondence [and] Speech.” In the wastebasket lie crumpled papers reading “Teuton Pledges [and] German Statements.” An axe lies at his feet. Roosevelt was outraged over what he considered President Wilson’s lackadaisical prosecution of the war and his willingness to accept anything other than unconditional surrender by the Germans. He traveled the nation making speeches and wrote articles and a weekly syndicated column, all attempting to speed up the war effort.
