Top left: Pennsylvania, a man in colonial-era attire, rides a donkey Democracy; Pennsylvania went to the Democratic candidate for the first time since 1856. Top right: The Republican elephant, badly beaten, goes off to Vermont and Maine, like a wild elephant going into the mountains to die. Center: A man with his mouth taped shut. Bottom left: A fishing pole Overwhelming for Landon snaps in half as a fish (Roosevelt) pulls on it. Bottom center A man smokes a cigar and throws his hat into the air celebrating the Democratic victories. Bottom right: Public reminds the celebrating man that the outcome of the election was important for the entire nation, not just one party. Roosevelt, Franklin D. (Franklin Delano), 1882-1945; Landon, Alfred M. (Alfred Mossman), 1887-1987 Image Access WideTEK 25 First time since Civil War. Democracy. Pennsylvania. That poll Overwhelming for Landon. Roosevelt. Lit Die Jest. Straw votes! Prominent figures who give bunk statements, emphatic prophecies, etc. There is a story that when elephants, in Africa, are sick and about to die--they go off to a far away mountain, a retreat unknown to man. Mount Vermont. Mount Maine. Democratic Celebrations. Okay Brother! But dont take it too seriously--as a purely personal victory, for it was just too tremendous for any one party. I think it shows, we are getting independent of professional politicians. Regular business. Mister Public. |
