| Description | Cartoon shows General Eisenhower, holding a paper reading "Come West, young man! R.S.V.P. GOP," gazing across the Atlantic toward a hopeful GOP elephant. The quotation parodies the famous advice made by Horace Greeley: "Go West, young man." Reflects the hope of many Republicans in the spring of 1952 that Eisenhower would resign his position as Supreme Commander of NATO and return home to run for president, a step that the cartoonist compares to the General's decision to proceed with the invasion of Europe in June 1944. |
