| Description | Cartoon shows presidential candidate Henry A. Wallace sleeping on the floor while three scruffy visitors (labeled "Communist Domination") occupy his bed. On the wall, a plaque reads "Home Sweet Home of the Progressive Party." The caption refers to Eric Hodgins' popular novel, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. In 1948, Wallace, the former Vice President, formed the Progressive Party and ran for president. The cartoon reflects the fact that the Progressives were dominated by Communist leaders and comments on Wallace's naivete in not recognizing this fact. |
