Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	The Republican elephant bangs a drum, trying to get peoples attention away from the war. People rush to get train tickets to Chicago, where the Republican National Convention is being held, but all the tickets are sold out. Dewey wonders if someone got him a ticket. A newspaper headline reads that Dewey will probably get the nomination soon. Dewey, Thomas E. (Thomas Edmund), 1902-1971 Image Access WideTEK 25 The War. Oh! To be sure. Hey! Lookee! Chicago. You can sleep here. Republican National Convention. Ticket home next train. Ticket--berth to Chicago. Democrat. GOP. Congress. Vacation till August one. They would. Howd you know? Youd be through. Not a thing to Chicago. Railroad. Tickets. Washington. Tickets Albany New York. Not a thing to Chicago. We know the convention is on. This is war business not the convention. Wed all be too late--for the convention. Morning Paper. Convention today. Dewey likely to get it Tuesday or Wednesday. Wonder if the boys thought of a railroad ticket for me? Acceptance speech. He wouldnt say no or yes. Dewey.
