# "Invulnerable" - Judge Magazine, May 7, 1904 This political cartoon depicts Theodore Roosevelt as an armored knight, apparently impervious to attacks. The figure on the left, labeled with various protective items ("Tariff," "Strategy," "Congress"), represents Roosevelt's political defenses and power base. On the right, smaller antagonistic figures wield weapons against him, but cannot penetrate his armor. These appear to represent his political opponents or critics—likely including Democratic adversaries and possibly Republican dissidents challenging his presidency. The title "Invulnerable" sarcastically suggests Roosevelt's perceived political dominance in 1904, during his first elected term. The cartoon celebrates his seemingly unassailable position through legislative support, tariff policies, and congressional backing, making him immune to political attack.
