Description
Unseen people push Senator Boies Penrose onto a theater stage to explain $25,000 in donations from the Standard Oil Company. Penrose tries to divert attention onto Theodore Roosevelt, but then sees William Randolph Hearst sitting in a box set holding a paper labeled "Oil letters not yet published." In the final panel, Hearst declares he has information on the subject while Penrose exits the far side of the stage under pressure.
