| Description | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant, holding a poster of Hoover, standing on the back porch of a house in New York, trying to charm a housewife. The Democratic donkey, holding a poster of Roosevelt, tries to charm a housewife in California. The caption refers to a "front porch campaign" in which a candidate remains at home, meeting with the public and the press and speaking from his own front porch. The 1932 presidential campaign, pitting President Hoover against Democratic challenger Franklin D. Roosevelt, was held in the middle of the Depression. Both candidates traveled the country, making political speeches. The cartoon may refer to the emphasis of both candidates on economic and domestic affairs. |
