Cal and Maria
1 drawing. | Joint portrait of a sour, repressed President Calvin Coolidge and his Vice President, Charles Dawes, portrayed as a vigorous, aggressive man with a pipe belching black smoke.

1 drawing. | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant with a donkey mask, posed against a background of Texas off-shore oil wells.

Now don't kid us : this is serious
1 drawing. | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant, carrying both Taft and Ike banners, objecting that fun was being made of the election process.
