Description
President Dwight Eisenhower ran for re-election on the Republican ticket in 1956 and defeated his Democratic opponent Adlai Stevenson for the second time. This whimsical version of his party’s symbol may have been designed to reflect the youth-friendly Republican Platform: “As the Party of the Young and in glowing appreciation of his dynamic leadership and inspiration, we respectfully dedicate this Platform of the Party of the Future to our distinguished President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and to the Youth of America.”
