| Description | Cartoon shows a Prohibitionist on a camel about to joust with a Wet riding a whale in the "Inevitable Wet-Dry Tournament." The battle dwarfs the Congress which is trying to deal with the tariff and other matters. Probably reflects the growing conflict between the Prohibitionists and those supporting repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1929 and 1930, the period in which Congress introduced and passed the Hawley-Smoot Tariff. |
