| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt and Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins as sailors watching as Postmaster General James Farley falls over the side of a ship. Farley says, "I don't know whether I jumped or was pushed." Hopkins says, "He was a nice fellow." Farley had been instrumental in getting Roosevelt elected to his first two terms, but by 1940 he harbored his own presidential ambitions and openly opposed Roosevelt's nomination for a third term. After the nominating convention, he resigned both his cabinet post and his position as chairman of the Democratic National Committee to become chairman of the board of the Coca Cola Export Corporation. Berryman parodies the famous cartoon (Dropping the pilot) by Sir John Tenniel published in Punch in 1890 showing the German Kaiser dismissing his powerful chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. |
