Historic Hood River

Notes

With the mid-term election shifting into gear, let flash back to the election of 1960 courtesy of this fine Alan Winans image.

Oregon Governor Mark Hatfield was in town stumping for the Republican ticket of Richard Nixon and Henry Cabot Lodge.  You can see their slogan “Experience Counts”, referring to the younger Senator John F. Kennedy.  We saw this image of the rally seven years ago.  It’s worth checking out again– it’s one of the best examples of HHR readers filling in the details.  You can also see the stump speech here.

I sure hope someone can identify our “Uncle Sam”.
