| Description | Cartoon shows President-Elect Herbert Hoover offering scrolls of paper to a line of men who reject them. The table holding the scrolls bears a sign reading "Presidential Appointments to Be Confirmed by the U.S. Senate." Behind him two lurk the Democratic donkey and a goat with one horn (the symbol used by Berryman to represent third parties or insurgent members of either party) armed with clubs saying "Oh boy, I can hardly wait!" and "Same here!" Hoover laments, "It's difficult to get successful men to accept these places." Although Hoover was known for his efficiency, he had a difficult time in persuading well-qualified politicians to accept appointments to his cabinet and did not complete the list until a few days before his inauguration. Berryman suggests that the prospect of being questioned by hostile members of the Senate may contribute to the problem. |
