Description | Cartoon shows Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette calling angrily out the window to Nebraska Governor Charles W. Bryan. A sign reads "No Mobilization, La Follette, Cleveland, O., July 4, 1924." La Follette was a firebrand Progressive who opposed conscription and advocated outlawing war. On July 4, 1924, he announced that he would run for president as an Independent. Bryan, the brother of William Jennings Bryan, was chosen to run for Vice President by the Democratic Party. He announced in August that he would refuse to cooperate with President Coolidge's plan for Defense Day on September 12, a kind of symbolic mobilization day involving civilians as well as the National Guard. Berryman suggests that La Follette may resent what he deems is Bryan poaching on his territory. |
