| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt greeting New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, who holds the unconscious figures of the New York Democratic leaders (including Bronx boss, Ed Flynn and New York Governor Herbert Lehman) under one arm and a limp Tammany Tiger over his shoulder. Roosevelt had named the feisty Republican Director of Civilian Defense in May 1941, but La Guardia continued to serve as mayor and even ran for a third term, soundly defeating his Democratic opponents. |
