| Description | Cartoon shows a large crowd watching a trapeze artist (labeled "Willkie") reaching for a trapeze labeled "Presidency U. S." No one bothers to watch the sideshow, labeled "Third Term-Maybe-Convention," and its barker, labeled "Bankhead." Speaker of the House William B. Bankhead was the keynote speaker of the upcoming Democratic National Convention. After the excitement of the Republican National Convention, which had nominated the charismatic young lawyer, Wendell Willkie, the Democrats had trouble arousing interest in their convention, where the only unusual feature was the prospect of nominating President Roosevelt for an unprecedented third term. |
