From: Dick McCormack
Passed the Watergate McGovern headquarters the other day and
noticed a striking new poster-- HANDS THAT PICK COTTON CAN NOW
PICK OUR LEADERS-- VOTE MCGOVERN. Depicted is a long black
arm reaching out toward a cotton boll.
This may be dandy at the Watergate and at thencorner of
14th and R St. But can you imagine the impact of the poster
at every Southern court house, every Union Hall, every
ethnic club, in every Cicero, Ill? Why don't we have some
of the boys duplicate that poster and give it far wider
circulation than the Democrats intended. Both our"Heritage"
organizations and Demos for Nixon would be ideal vehicles for
distribution.
