The issue with this political cartoon is that there is a man with a flag that says "new treaty," he wants to stop Theodore Roosevelt from making the Panama Canal. The cartoonist message is that Teddy Roosevelt is the one in charge and has boatloads of people who do the work. The techniques the cartoonist used was exaggeration because Teddy Roosevelt is not that big in real life. The cartoon supports American Imperialism because Teddy Roosevelt is getting dirty and presidents do not get dirty.
