Description | Cartoon shows Vice President Charles G. Dawes laughing loudly and poking a stolid President Coolidge in the chest. Coolidge, smoking a pipe and holding an alarm clock, has small wings on his shoulders. A news bulletin reads: "Washington, D.C. April 9 - (A.P.) The Vice President was in conference with President Coolidge for an hour today. Nothing was given out." Coolidge was widely perceived as the personification of honesty, a trait highly valued when he sì³®ded President Harding whose presidency had been marked by corruption and scandal. Coolidge was also famous for his reticence, in stark contrast to Vice President Dawes, known for his unconventional bluntness and wit. |
