| Description | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant at the Republican Party Club offering a box of "States Rights Perfectos" cigars to the "Voter." A picture of the Republican presidential candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, sits on the table. An outraged Democratic donkey looks in through the window at a smiling portrait of Thomas Jefferson holding a document labeled "Democratic Principles." Reflects Eisenhower's endorsement of the states rights position on the ownership of offshore oil. Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic Party, was known for his support of states rights. The cartoonist suggests that over the years, the basic position of the parties has been reversed. |
