| Description | Cartoon shows an exultant Democratic donkey sitting amidst piles of Democratic votes, holding a paper reading: "Illinois Primary Endorses New Deal, Apparently No Upsets Among Administration Candidates." The donkey suggests to a dejected GOP elephant that he may be able to provide him with job relief provided by the Emergency Recovery Administration. In April 1934, organization candidates swept the Illinois Democratic primaries and the Democrats polled an unusually large number of votes, suggesting that the New Deal would be a big winner in the Fall congressional elections. |
