Description | Cartoon shows Mr. Dry (the cartoonist's puritanical symbol for the Prohibitionists) and Senator William Borah leaving home with their bundled belongings. Their father, shown as an elderly man labeled "G.O.P," grieves at their departure. In the 1932 presidential election, the Republican Party, bowing to growing public opinion, endorsed a modification of the Prohibition amendment. Prominent Republican "drys," including Borah, announced that they would not support President Hoover, the Republican candidate. |
