Cartoon shows Republican presidential candidate Wendell Willkie telling the vice-presidential candidate, Charles McNary, "Don't worry Charlie, I can take it!" In the background, Democratic politicians, Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, Democratic National Committee Chairman James Farley, and Democratic publicity man, Charles Michelson, stir a pot of "Smear Willkie Soup." When Willkie won the nomination, the Democrats launched an organized campaign, associating Willkie with Tammany Hall, Wall Street war profiteers, and even Hitler. Unlike McNary, a seasoned politician, this was Willkie's first experience with the rough and tumble of national politics.
