I've Had a Perfectly Corking Time!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Theodore Roosevelt's Victory at the 1908 Republican Convention This delightful illustration captures the jubilant moment after Theodore Roosevelt secured the Republican nomination for a second term as President of the United States at the 1908 Republican National Convention. The scene takes place on July 15, 1908, and shows a triumphant Roosevelt sitting on a bench, a mallet labeled "My Policies" resting on his right knee. He proudly holds a large jar labeled "Republican Convention," which he has just corked, next to him. Behind Roosevelt, shelves are filled with bottles that he has corked throughout the convention. On the bottom shelf, we find Alton B. Parker's Esopus Pickle, Cipriano Castro, which has unfortunately popped its cork, and the Portsmouth Peace treaty bottle. On the middle shelf, we see George B. Cortelyou, James R. Day, Charles Evans Hughes, Joseph G. Cannon, Robert M. La Follette, Chan Gurney, and an unlabeled Charles W. Fairbanks. On the top shelf, we find Bowen, Chester I. Long, Bellamy Storer, Edward H. Harriman, J. London, and Ernest Thompson Seton. Roosevelt's success at the convention was a hard-fought victory. He faced significant opposition from his opponents, including former President William McKinley's handpicked successor, New York Governor Alton B. Parker. Despite this, Roosevelt's charisma, strong leadership, and popular policies, such as the Square Deal, ultimately won him the nomination. This illustration captures the excitement and relief that came with his victory, as he could finally put the long and arduous convention behind him and focus on the upcoming election.
