Teddy Roosevelt and the railroads
The political cartoon I chose for Theodore against the railroad strike was the first picture. I decided upon this cartoon because it depicts him walking intensely down the railroad with a huge stick as if he's going to hit something which shows his passionate interest in the passage of the bill and wholeheartedly supported the Hepburn Act. Roosevelt wants to fight and it shows because of the expression he has in this cartoon because he thought improved government regulation of the industry was a middle way between the chaos of the detached competition, which also included the formation of monopolies, and government ownership of the railroads.
