| Description | Cartoon shows Vice President Henry Wallace gazing wistfully at a sign indicating that there are 677 delegates "pledged or claimed" for Roosevelt. With only 589 "needed to nominate," Roosevelt has a surplus of 88. Wallace says, "Under the more abundant life, there would be something for a vice president." Before becoming vice president, Wallace had made his name as a visionary Secretary of Agriculture, pushing the development of new technologies to bring American farming to new levels of abundance. By May 1944, however, despite President Roosevelt's massive lead, it appeared unlikely that Wallace would garner enough delegate support at the Democratic Convention to be renominated for vice president. |
