| Description | Cartoon shows a somber John Nance Garner, clad in full western regalia, sitting under a pecan tree smoking. A sign reads Uvalde and ranch houses can be seen in the distance. The cartoon may have been drawn in 1941, when a disgruntled Garner, completed his second term as Vice President and retired to his pecan ranch in Uvalde, Texas. Garner had been elected to Congress in 1898 and had served as its speaker. He was Roosevelt's Vice President from 1933 to 1941 and had hoped to s쳮d him as President, but was blocked when Roosevelt ran for a third term. The caption refers to a line from the song, "Home on the Range," reportedly Roosevelt's favorite. |
