Description
Governor Charles S. Deneen stands at the end of a diving board wearing swimming clothes while hesitating to dive into the "Candidates Swimming Hole" decorated with signs pointing in opposite directions for the "governorship" and the "senatorship." Several Deneen office holders stand in the dressing room behind Deneen demanding he jump in order to secure jobs for them.
Political cartoonist Harold R. Heaton illustrates the precarious position of Governor Charles S. Deneen (1905-1913), a Republican governor caught between warring party factions (Conservative and the Progressive Republicans), and the whim of machine politics.
