| Description | Cartoon shows Ohio Governor John Bricker reproaching President Roosevelt and New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey for hiding in foxholes. Roosevelt's foxhole is labeled "Democratic Nomination; Dewey's "G.O.P. Nomination." Dewey, grinning, responds, "If you know a better 'ole, why don't you go to it?" In the 1944 presidential campaign, both Roosevelt and Dewey maintained almost up to the beginning of their respective nominating conventions that they had no interest in running. This attitude greatly frustrated Bricker who failed to win the Republican nomination, despite active campaigning. |
