| Description | Cartoon shows Dame Democracy standing on a bank next to a stream holding a fishing pole, while a fish labeled "Anti-Volsteadism" swims by. Behind her, President Coolidge sits thinking on a fence, a fishing pole at his side. Dame Democracy muses, "Reckon I'd better wait an' see where Cal's goin' to fish." Dame Democracy, drawn as an old woman with corkscrew curls in old-fashioned clothes, was frequently used by Berryman to represent the Democratic Party. As the 1928 presidential election loomed, the Democrats were unsure not only what stand the president might take in regard to the growing public sentiment to abolish Prohibition but also whether he would decide to run for re-election. |
