The cartoon’s caption is followed by a subhead that reads: “Strong Agitation for Protective Measures Against the Now Trebled Horror of Assassination.”

Text immediately beneath the cartoon reads: “The above cartoon emphasizes the necessity of immediate measures for the protection of America’s Chief Executive and the prevention of an atrocity which in three cases has deprived the nation of its head.”

Title herein taken from caption.

The cartoon (below) originally appeared in the 14 September 1901 issue of the New York World, with a caption reading “Our Third Martyred President.”
