TitleHe who laughs last --TypeStill ImageCollectionSummaryTwo-panel cartoon. In the first panel President Roosevelt looks dismayed as Republican presidential candidate Thomas E. Dewey laughingly points to Communist Party chairman Earl Browder who holds a sign reading "Roosevelt for Fourth Term Is My Slogan! 1944." In the second, Roosevelt laughs at a worried Dewey while United Mine Workers leader John L. Lewis brandishes a sign reading, "Hurray for Dewey for President, 1944." Early in the 1944 presidential campaign, Dewey accused Roosevelt of pardoning Browder (who had been convicted of passport fraud) so that he would support an unprecedented fourth term for the president. Berryman suggests that Dewey will be embarrassed himself by the support of Lewis, who was carrying on a running feud with the president and whose coal strikes during wartime had made him extremely unpopular with a large segment of the publicAuthorized Access PointBerryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949 He who laughs last --
