| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt talking to his Vice Presidential running mate, Henry A. Wallace, as missiles labeled "Unemployment," "Anti-business Policy," "Fiscal Policy," "Dictatorship," "Gov't in Business," "Growing Bureaucracy," and "3d.Term" come flying in the window. In 1940, Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie waged a strenuous campaign for president, attacking Roosevelt for his New Deal policies and programs. Democrats tried to pin the label of "Appeaser" on him, a term that had fallen into disfavor with the onslaught of World War II in Europe. While the term was appropriate for many Republicans who adhered to their isolationist position, it was inappropriate for Willkie who had taken a strong internationalist position. |
