Object Details

Baseball was not immune to political digs, even in this innocuous-looking program for the 1932 Congressional Baseball Game. The program’s printing was supported by, among others, Chas. H. Potter & Co, who advertised themselves as “Particular Printers,” who would “print for both Democrats and Republicans (also insurgents).” The parenthetical reference likely referred to a group of Democrats who opposed their Speaker “Cactus Jack” Garner’s proposal for a general sales tax.
