WASHINGTON
"As it looks
from here"
OMAR BURLESON
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In
1951, the chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee of the Congress, with two
other members of his Commit-
tee, made an exchange visit
with the House of Deputies of
Uruguay. One primary purpose
of our return contact was to
make known our awareness and
and concern that beef imports
from their country were out of
line with their ability to pro-
duce and that the origin of
their exports was mainly from
the Argentine.
This is beside the point ex-
cept to explain that three U. S.
Congressmen (2 Democrats and
1 Republican) in trying to make
a good impression committed
a “faux pas”, which was almost
fatal to our mission. On the
morning of our official visit
to the Chamber of Deputies—
their members called Deput-
ados—we were given a white
carnation for our lapel. We
Congressman
17Hi District
thought it nice and pinned it
on. Advised by our Ambassa-
dor that white identified one
political party and a red flow-
er represented the other, we
quickly accepted a red carnation
and wore both, looking some-
thing like a pot plant.
Most countries which have
only two or three political par-
ties have some representative
insignia. It may be an animal,
a fowl or other objects of iden-
tification.
Ours, of course, are the
democratic donkey and the re-
publican elephant.
It was in 1870 that Thomas
Nast, a political cartoonist,
first used the donkey as a
Democratic Party symbol.
On January 15, 1870, Har-
per’s Weekly published a Nast
cartoon depicting the donkey in
the “Cooperhead Press,”
(Anti-war faction) kicking a
dead lion which represented
Secretary of War, Edward M.

Stanton. Writers at the time in-
terpreted Nast’s cartoon repre-
senting the Democratic Party as
one of “noise and obstruction”
which he believed it to be.
The donkey was used in con-
nection with Andrew Jackson’s
campaign for the Presidency.
Jackson’s proposals to help the
people were viewed with alarm
by the opposing Party, which
labeled him a “Jackass.”
Jackson seized upon the op-
portunity to capitalize on name
calling and won a sweeping vic-
tory.
The symbol caught on, al-
though some researchers have
since said that Nast did not
actually portray the donkey as
the symbol of the Democratic
Party but the anti-war faction
within it.
On November 7, 1874, Har-
per’s Weekly published a Nast
cartoon using the elephant as
representing the Republican
Party. The cartoon was titled
“The Third Term Panic” and
used animals representing var-
ious issues and newspapers
running away from a donkey
wearing a lion skin labeled
“Caesarism.” The elephant is
labeled the “Republican Vote”
and is running towards a pitfall
under which are planks bearing
the words “inflation,” “re-
form,” etc.
The donkey was well estab-
lished as the Democrats’ mas-
cot by the time the Garfield-
Hancock campaign came along.
The New York Daily Graphic
published a cartoon showing the
Democratic candidate mounted
on a donkey and leading a pro-
cession of crusaders.
Gradually as the donkey and
elephant became the accepted
symbols of the Democrats and
Republicans, each party gave
the other symbol certain traits.
The Democrats usually re-
gard the elephant as bungling,
stupid, pompous and conserva-
tive. The Republicans think of
nim as dignified, strong and
intelligent.
The Republicans regard the
donkey as stubborn, silly and
ridiculous. The Democrats
think of him as being humble,
homely, smart, courageous and
loveable.
In the months just ahead we
will be seeing a lot of both.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Cotton is by far the major income crop in the Rolling Plains, accounting for about
40% of total agricultural income. Annual sales average well over $50 million. Processing,
transportation, storage, and insurance provide additional millions. Farmers are the big-
gest users of gasoline, tires, machinery, fertilizers, insecticides, and credit. The majority
of all citizens in this area directly or indirectly, depend on cotton for most of their income.
Rolling Plains Cotton Growers, Inc., is a local non-profit organization, chartered
by the State of Texas, to promote the welfare and protect the interests of the cotton
industry in the 32 county Rolling Plains area. Activities are carried out under the direction
of a 64 man Board of Directors, 2 from each county, who serve without pay. The organiza-
tion has been tremendously successful, and has earned State and National, recognition.
rtPCG depends on voluntary contributions for operating funds. Due to the short
crop in 1967, income was reduced 25%. Costs are up. We must have additional funds to
continue to represent this area.
