Description
Adlai Stevenson II rides a donkey carrying a basket of "Adlai" campaign buttons while playing guitar. In April 1960, Stevenson returned from South America and criticized the Eisenhower administration for failing to concentrate efforts there, but instead using "sterile anti-communism and wishful thinking." Stevenson attempted to secure the Democratic nomination for a third time very late in 1960, losing to a better prepared John F. Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention.
