| Description | Cartoon shows a goat with one horn (the symbol used by Berryman to respresent third parties) standing in a cemetery, holding a megaphone in one hand and a paper reading "Third Party Candidate Search" in the other. He is startled by the statue of a large moose, standing on a pedestal labeled "Bull Moose, 1912." The statue warns, "Forget it!" Behind the moose is a grave stone labeled "Populism." In the presidential election of 1932, some Republicans, recognizing the unpopularity of President Hoover, began looking for another candidate. Berryman points out the notable lack of success of such efforts, especially the defeats of the Progressive (or Bull Moose) Party in 1912 and the Populists in the late 19th century. |
