"Gettin' Awful Crowded!"
January 28, 1924
The Democratic race to challenge Republican President Calvin Coolidge in 1924 opened up when front-runner William McAdoo proved weaker than expected. This cartoon comments on the ever-growing field of potential candidates in the months leading up to the Democratic National Convention in New York City. Here Missouri Senator Jim Reed is the latest one to "throw his hat in the ring," while the Democratic donkey worries about the crowded field. At the convention, former Ambassador John W. Davis received the nomination. |
