The cartoon appeared in reaction to a pro-military preparedness speech given by Roosevelt on August 25, 1915, at a military training camp in Plattsburg, New York. From the onset of World War I in 1914, Roosevelt had been a staunch supporter of the British-French alliance. He wanted a stiffer foreign policy toward Germany, and urged a policy of national preparedness. His speech sharply criticized President Wilson's policy of neutrality. Clubb indicates from the title and the image that Roosevelt had the 1916 presidential election on his mind, as well as military preparedness.
