| Description | Cartoon shows Republicans William Howard Taft and his opponent Theodore Roosevelt shaking hands. Roosevelt grimaces as he leans against a table, bringing plates, cups and food tumbling to the floor. His fork flies into the air, but he continues to clutch his knife as if it were a weapon. He wears a badge identifying him as "Republican Club life member." A ham on the table is labelled "Patronage." Taft smiles as he holds a straight razor behind his back. A picture of the Coliseum in Chicago hangs on the wall, a reference to the 1912 site of the Republican Party Convention. A cemetery identified as "Hatchet burying ground" is visible through the window. Roosevelt divided the Republican Party in 1912 by running against Taft under the Progressive Party. |
