| Description | Cartoon shows Democratic National Committee Chairman John J. Raskob holding a large plank (labeled "Wet Plank"), dripping water on a rug labeled "1932 Prospects." Dame Democracy, a little old-fashioned lady with cork screw curls and ruffles, and the cartoonist's symbol for the Democratic Party, starts in consternation from her chair. Raskob says, "Auntie, honestly. Now what do you think of this?" In November 1931, Raskob sent a letter to all 90,000 Democratic contributors to the 1928 presidential campaign, asking them to declare whether they would approve an anti-prohibition plank in the Democratic platform for the 1932 campaign. Raskob was known for his wet position, but a large proportion of the Democratic Party still opposed the end of Prohibition. |
