| Description | Cartoon shows the Democratic donkey as a father watching the courtship of his daughter (labeled "'52 Nomination") from behind a curtain. The suitor, President Truman, yawns instead of proposing. Drawn on Leap Day, the day on which, traditionally, girls were allowed to propose marriage to boys. The cartoon expresses the frustrations of the Democrats when the President put off announcing whether he would run for re-election in 1952. On March 29, Truman announced he would not run. |
