Inscribed: "Best wishes to Gee Tee Maxwell from Dan B. Dowling."
Cartoon shows President Roosevelt as a ventriloquist seated on a stage asking the Democratic Party chairman, James A. Farley, to "Hand me the dummy." The dummy is a little donkey (labeled "Convention Delegates") dressed like the Edgar Bergen's famous puppet, Charlie McCarthy. Reflects the perception that Roosevelt had stage-managed his draft for the nomination for a third term as President by the Democratic Convention in 1940.
