Hoping to get his wish by playing both sides

A man (straddling politician) struggles to break a giant wishbone (Prohibition wishbone) with each side divided into "Wets" and "Drys." Next to him is a dinning table with several leftover bones on a bowl. On the wall is a picture (1928 Election) showing two hands holding a "Dry vote" and a "Wet vote" over a ballot box.
