- The object is a political cartoon hand-drawn on white paper by Clifford Berryman in Washington, D.C. circa 1928. The drawing depicts John J. Raskob, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, writing a document that reads "I don't care who your convention delegates are if I can write the platform."
