| Description | Cartoon shows Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon seated at his desk, looking at a paper reading "Pennsylvania Delegation," ignoring a delegation of small men standing hat-in-hand in the doorway behind him. The delegation includes (among others) Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, and Senators Charles Curtis of Kansas and James E. Watson of Indiana. Before the Republican National Convention in 1928, Mellon, hoping that President Calvin Coolidge would change his mind and run for re-election, refused to allow the Pennsylvania delegation (which he chaired) to endorse any of the candidates actively running for the Republican nomination. |
