Listening to him are a group of Democratic leaders, standing in front of a sign reading "Meeting Tonight, Democratic Precinct Workers and looking on in dismay at Communist leader Earl Browder, who claps his hands and cries, "Hear! Hear!" The Democratic leaders include Democratic National Committee Chairman Robert Hannegan, big city bosses Frank Hague, Edward J. Kelly and Edward J. Flynn, and labor leader Sidney Hillman. During the war, the Communists gained a certain measure of respectability because of the alliance with the Soviet Union and Browder even dissolved the old Communist Party of the United States and replaced it with the Communist Political Association independent of Russia. He also endorsed many New Deal policies. The Republicans seized the issue as a weapon in the 1944 presidential campaign. Roosevelt quickly disavowed Communist support. MEDIUM:1 drawing.
