Description
Two supporters lead a small parade in an attempt to "draft" Adlai Stevenson II for the 1960 Democratic presidential nomination. Stevenson looks on while holding a suitcase labeled "South America" in reference to his 1960 South American tour. Stevenson, leader of the Democratic party, chose to not actively run for the presidential nomination. Instead, he claimed he would run only if drafted. After a tiff with emerging candidate John F. Kennedy, Stevenson geared up for a run at the National Convention in Chicago.
