| Description | World War II cartoon shows President Roosevelt jovially greeting Vice President Henry Wallace who carries a briefcase covered with oriental characters. Roosevelt says, "Henry, you'd be surprised to know how many people are talking about you." As the 1944 Democratic nominating convention approached, Roosevelt played a devious hand, letting a number of people think that he supported their candidacies for Vice President. Wallace had just returned from a trip to the Far East, a trip that some observers thought was designed by the president to keep him out of the way. In the end, Wallace was dumped, and Senator Harry Truman of Missouri was nominated instead. |
