| Description: |
Cartoon about fundraisers for 1960 election campaigns. A crowd of people, mostly men in suits, sit at several tables which are set up in front of a huge television set. A sign on a table in the foreground says that this is a $100.00 a plate dinner. A sign on top of the TV says that it is a closed-circuit broadcast from the Big Town to hundreds of fundraiser dinners all over the country. A man on the TV tells the crowd to give like sixty so the party can win in 1960. He points to a sheet of paper which describes a new Clean Election Bill, which would limit one persons campaign contributions to $10,000. Men in the crowd discuss campaign finances.
