Roosevelt and Cannon in a tangent on merit over seniority
The piece criticizes seniority in promotions as ill suited for national affairs and urges merit based advancement. It mocks Roosevelt for rumored political plots and jokes about misdirected support for Governor Loeb. It notes Speaker Cannon’s public letter, then jests about matrimonial letters to the Speaker and sarcasm about the tapeworm club and Peary’s pole claims.
