| Description | Cartoon shows the GOP elephant (wearing buttons reading "I Like Ike" and "I Like Shivers") as an oil worker standing next to an oil well which is adorned with signs explaining that it is possible to vote a straight GOP ticket that includes both the Democratic candidates for governor and Congress as well as the Republican presidential candidate, Eisenhower. Reflects the efforts of the Texas Republican Party to attract Democratic votes during the 1952 presidential campaign by placing the names of the Democratic candidates (including the gubernatorial candidate, Allan Shivers) on the state Republican ballot. |
