| Description | Cartoon shows President Roosevelt and New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey as small boys frightened by a fierce Jack-o-lantern labeled "American Voter." The spooky atmosphere of this Halloween cartoon is heightened by a black cat, an owl, several bats, and a graveyard. The cartoon was drawn shortly before the 1944 presidential election when Roosevelt and Dewey were the Democratic and Republican candidates. Polls predicted that the race would be close, but Roosevelt won handily. |
