| Description | Cartoon shows Republican presidential nominee Governor Thomas E. Dewey nailing shut the door of the "G.O.P. Stable" with a board labeled "Dewey Statement." Dewey smiles and says, "I guess that kept Ham Fish out." Meanwhile the G.O.P. elephant (labeled "Primary Victory") escapes from a side door and rushes to embrace Congressman Hamilton Fish. In July 1944, Dewey announced that he would not support his colleague's campaign for re-election. Dewey charged that Fish had made anti-semitic statements, but the problem was exacerbated by Fish's strong isolationist stance prior to World War II. Fish won his Republican primary anyway. |
