| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt staring in the distance at Sidney Hillman, shaped like a boomerang, and asking Vice President Henry Wallace what it is. Wallace answers, "Looks like a boomerang. We better duck." Sidney Hillman was head of the CIO Political Action Committee, the most powerful political group supporting Roosevelt in his campaign for a fourth term as president. It was rumored that Roosevelt had consulted with Hillman before picking Senator Harry Truman as his new vice presidential running mate. The Republicans seized on this story and gleefully used "Clear it with Sidney" as one of their campaign slogans. |
