Columbia: "He's not only been abusing Billie, but the little Wilson girl says she never heard such language!"

This cartoon illustrates Columbia (the female personification of America), William Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Uncle Sam. In the cartoon, Columbia reprimands Roosevelt by saying to Uncle Sam, "He's not only been abusing Billie, but the little Wilson girl says she never heard such language." This shows the political fighting that occured during the Presidential election of 1912.
