On Broadway with Walter Winchell in the political mire
The piece lampoons presidential conventions as backroom affairs that attract delegates, liquor, and spectacle. It notes the dullness of modern conventions, the veteran jokes about sleeping quarters, and recalls Wilson in 1912 and the Log Cabin Hard Cider era. It ends with the 1940 convention and oversized McNutt buttons as a lingering image.
