| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam sitting at the bedside of Dame Democracy who has just delivered two babies, shown lying in their cradles. Uncle Sam suggests calling Dr. Dafoe since there may be more. Dame Democracy, drawn as an old lady with corkscrew curls, was frequently used by Berryman to symbolize the Democratic Party. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe was the doctor who delivered the famous dionne Quintuplets. As the 1940 presidential election approached, no one knew whether President Roosevelt would run for an unprecedented third term. Both Vice President John Nance Garner and Postmaster General James Farley announced thir candidacies, and it appeared that others might also. |
