| Description | Cartoon shows Wisconsin Senator Robert La Follette consulting a Cross Word Dictionary. At his feet sits a baby goat with one horn and a teething ring labeled "Radicalism." A goat was the symbol used by Berryman to denote third parties or factions. In 1924, Progressive leaders from both the Democratic and Republican parties (including farm and labor union leaders and Socialists) nominated La Follette to run for president. La Follette insisted that the new party not be given a name until after the election in order not to hurt the chances of other Progressives running for Congress on Democratic or Republican tickets. In the November election, La Follette carried only Wisconsin, and the new party withered away. |
