Green as a policeman checking out a donkey and its long cart driven by six drivers labeled "Hannegan, Hague, Kelly, Hillman, Flynn [and] Browder." Green asks each one, "Now tell me what YOU did at the Statler Hotel?" All six drivers were Roosevelt supporters in the 1944 presidential election. Robert Hannegan was chairman of the Democratic National Committee; Frank Hague, Edward J. Kelly, and Edward J. Flynn were big city bosses; Sidney Hillman was a labor leader; and Earl Browder was head of the American Communist Party. In September 1944, Roosevelt made one of his rare campaign speeches at a Teamsters Union dinner at the Statler Hotel. After the dinner, it was reported that some Teamster leaders got into a fight with several naval officers in the lobby, demanding to know for whom they were going to vote. A Senate Committee, chaired by Senator Green, investigated the affair, but was unable to determine who was at fault. MEDIUM:1 drawing. CREATED/PUBLISHED:1944 Oct. 8.
