Description | Joint portrait of a sour, repressed President Calvin Coolidge and his Vice President, Charles Dawes, portrayed as a vigorous, aggressive man with a pipe belching black smoke. The caption, "Cal and Maria," is an allusion to Dawes's nickname, "Hell and Maria." Both the cartoon and the caption probably refer to the presidential campaign of 1924 in which Coolidge played a quiet role while Dawes lived up to his reputation, attacking the Ku Klux Klan and the radicalism of the Progressives. |
