| Description | World War II cartoon shows former Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie as a farmer, sitting on a fence talking to Governor John Bricker of Ohio and Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York (both also drawn as rustic types). Willkie tries to reassure them, saying "Buck up, boys, we can win in 1944." Bricker responds, "WHO does he mean by 'WE'?" Willkie was a Wall Street public utilities lawyer, but he was portrayed by the media as a homespun Indiana boy. Although he captured the Republican nomination in 1940, he was widely distrusted by the party regulars because of his internationalist views. When Willkie began to take steps to capture the nomination again in 1943, he was opposed by the conservative wing of the party led by Bricker and Dewey. |
