content: The object is a political cartoon hand-drawn on white paper about 1932 by Clifford Berryman in Washington, D.C. It depicts Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Jouett Shouse, a political conservative, on a raft "adrift at sea" because the Democrats continue to support the liberal Franklin D. Roosevelt for President of the United States. Shouse would not endorse Roosevelt. Shouse is wearing a "Liberty League" hat which signifies his involvement as leader of the Liberty League, a conservative political organization comprising mostly wealthy and prominent businessmen and politicians.
