| Description | Cartoon shows Democratic National Committee Chairman Herbert Brownell and Republican National Committee Chairman Robert Hannegan as workmen on ladders finishing posting signs. Brownell is preparing to add an "R" to a sign reading "Ti-ed Leadership"; Hannegan is adding an "R" to a sign reading "T-ied Leadership." During the 1944 presidential campaign, Republican leaders made much of the fact that a weary and aging President Roosevelt was running for an unprededented fourth term, contrasting him to the young vigorous Thomas E. Dewey who had made his reputation as a tough New York district attorney and was a popular governor of New York State. |
