In the 1914 New York gubernatorial race, former President Theodore Roosevelt publicly endorsed Progressive party nominee Fredrick M. Davenport, moving away from his Republican party affiliation as he had in the 1912 presidential election. The Republican candidate for governor was former District Attorney Charles Seymour Whitman who was closely tied to the corrupt New York State G.O.P. boss, William Barnes. Roosevelt's intense dislike for Barnes made it impossible for him to support Whitman. Clubb's cartoon was probably inspired by Roosevelt's passionate campaign speech on behalf of Davenport, delivered to a capacity crowd at the Rochester Convention Hall on October 16, 1914.
