| Description | Cartoon shows Senator John Sparkman of Alabama, the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 1952, seated on a veranda courting a beautiful young girl (labeled "South's Vote"). She is reading books on Adlai Stevenson and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates. Her father, pictured as a Southern colonel reading a paper headlined "States Rights" and "Fight for Constitutional Government"), looks on. Sparkman holds a folder containing his voting record on the St. Lawrence Waterway, F.E.P.C., Tideland's Grab, and Fair-Dealism. Suggests that the Senator's position supporting centralized government projects, civil rights, national ownership of offshore oil, and other Fair Deal programs will not gain him popularity with Southern voters. |
