GR8 1952 anti-Adlai Stevenson & Harry Truman Cartoon Prez Campaign Fold Pamphlet:
$24.00
Many people aren\'t aware of the fact that, after his stunning, 1948 election upset over Thomas Dewey, it was all downhill from there for Harry Truman in the White House.
Not only had the democrats been there since 1933, making for a lot of graft, corruption, federal programs run amok, money lost, scandals and communist infiltration, but a pesky event called the Korean War was thrown at him, causing a stalemate with many U.S. casualties and fatalities. Remember M*A*S*H? Truman decided not to run for re-election because, by the time the 1952 election rolled around, his poll numbers were in the tank. He left office in January of 1953 with lower numbers than even George W. Bush had when he left office in 2009. And Bush had our modern media piling on him over Iraq and financial distress.
So, this 6\" x 4\" newsprint, artwork pamphlet, (which opens to 20 inches long!), reflects presidential candidate, Adlai Stevenson (and the democrat party\'s) 1952 predicament. There are some wonderful cartoons on it mocking both him and Truman. Adlai hadn\'t even been Harry\'s first choice as a candidate. That man was Averill Harriman. But Harry had to button his lip and campaign for his lesser choice. (See our famous cartoon button, item 275779121960). Plus, it didn\'t help matters that they were all campaigning against one of the most popular guys around, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the GOP candidate, who had designed the D-Day invasion to bring down Hitler.
