This illustration entitled, "When Taft Shows How He Did It", by cartoonist Clifford Berryman, which appeared in the Washington Post on October 14, 1906, shows Theodore Roosevelt getting a laugh as William Howard Taft, dressed in football gear, tackles a small figure holding a football labeled "Revolution." This refers to Taft's service as Commissioner of the Philippines during a period when Philippine revolutionaries, seeking independence, were overwhelmed by U.S. military forces.
This primary source comes from the Records of the U.S. Senate.
