Gentlemen, this is the city of brotherly love!

| Description | Cartoon shows Republican National Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton welcoming the various presidential contenders, Wendell Willkie, Robert A. Taft, Thomas E. Dewey, and Arthur H. Vandenberg, to Philadelphia for the 1940 Republican convention. A portrait on the wall shows the GOP elephant dressed as William Penn. Hamilton caries a dove on one shoulder and an olive branch in his pocket, but the contenders carry weapons: a cudgel, walking stick, or wrench. Philadelphia, founded by Quaker William Penn, was nicknamed the City of Brotherly Love, but the cartoonist suggests that there will be little love in evidence at the convention. |
