Walking out on the program

A boxer still wearing a robe (Anti-Saloon League) is seen walking out of the ring and tossing his boxing gloves. The gloves have a tag attached to them with the inscription: "News Item:--"The Directors of Anti-Saloon League have decided against asking the Republican and Democratic Parties to include Prohibition law enforcement in their platforms." In the background, a disappointed William G. McAdoo holds a bucket (dry campaign for president) and a boxer (public sentiment) watches from inside the boxing ring (Party platform 1928).
