| Description | Cartoon shows a stout old gentleman (the cartoonist's symbol for the Republican Party) standing firmly in front of a gas station bearing a sign reading "Use That Good Teapot Dome Oil." The gas pump is labeled "Sinclair Fall Co." and the oil tank bears a large dollar mark. The cartoon alludes to the Teapot Dome Scandal during the Harding Administration when Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall was convicted of taking a bribe to sell the rich oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming to a company represented by businessman Harry F. Sinclair. The cartoonist implies that this kind of activity is normal for Republicans. |
