| Description | Cartoon shows a smiling former Governor of New York, Al Smith, leaving Houston, riding on a frisky Democratic donkey, carrying a slab of bacon labeled "Democratic Nomination." He wears a feather in his hat labeled "The Happy Warrior." Smith won the Democratic presidential nomination in Houston in 1924. The nickname "The Happy Warrior" was first bestowed on him during the 1924 convention in a nominating speech by Franklin D. Roosevelt. It took the 1924 convention 103 ballots to pick a nominee. By contrast, Smith was nominated in 1928 on the first ballot. |
