In the White House attic, a find

Bradley pictures Wilson sitting in a cob-webbed White House attic, rummaging through a trunk full of memorabilia belonging to former President Theodore Roosevelt. He pulls out Roosevelt's famous "Big Stick" from the trunk exclaiming, "Just the thing for my new Knock-Him-Down policy!" Other memorabilia includes a framed portrait of the former president, a copy of Roosevelt's book of essays and addresses entitled, The Strenuous Life (1900), a tennis racket, a sword, spurs, a sign marked "Delighted," and other paraphernalia.

Satirical portrayal of President Woodrow Wilson getting tough with his foreign policy toward Germany. While most of Europe was involved in war, the United States was still trying to maintain a policy of neutrality.
