EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled 'The Sword of Theodore,' depicts a pivotal moment in American political history that unfolded on June 12, 1907. Theodore Roosevelt, the charismatic and dynamic President of the United States, is shown here with his trusted friend and muckraker, Jacob Riis. They are perched on a large tree branch, with Roosevelt grinning like the Cheshire Cat, as if relishing the excitement of the political scene below. The significance of the sword labeled 'Nomination' stuck deeply into the tree is not lost on us. This symbolizes the upcoming presidential election, with Roosevelt as the presumptive nominee. On the far right, we see Albert B. Cummins and Charles Evans Hughes, who were among the potential candidates vying for the Republican nomination. On the left, we find an array of other contenders, including Philander Knox, Joseph B. Foraker, Charles W. Fairbanks, Joseph G. Cannon, William H. Taft, Albert J. Beveridge, and George B. Cortelyou. The illustration encapsulates the political tension and intrigue of the time, as the Republican Party prepared to choose its next leader. The image of Roosevelt, seemingly above it all, with a knowing smile on his face, underscores his confidence and dominance in the political landscape. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of American politics and the drama that often accompanies the presidential nomination process.
