Hit it!

These are some of the Kansas delegates to the Republican National Convention in 1948.

I found the Platform pretty interesting in terms of which party could claim the same items today:

• Reduction of the public debt
• Federal aid to states for slum clearance and low-cost housing
• Extension of Social Security benefits
• A federal anti-lynching law
• Federal civil rights legislation
• Abolition of the poll tax
• A crackdown on domestic Communism
• Recognition of the state of Israel
• International arms control “on basis of reliable disciplines against bad faith”.

Mayor Cleaver?
