Item #40553 Signature. Dale BUMPERS.

Signature.

This powerful southern Democrat, nicknamed "Dandy Dale" by "Time" magazine for having "one speech, a shoeshine, and a smile" and "Giant Killer" by others for his ability to defeat strong incumbents, served Arkansas as its 38th governor (1971-75) and U.S. senator (1975-99). Item #40553

Accompanied by a modern reproduction of a delightful Jon Kennedy editorial cartoon showing this cartoonist sitting at his drafting table in front of a half-finished portrait of Bumpers, gazing at a couple of photographs of Bumpers and thanking to himself, "he's tough... no glasses, no moustache, no big mouth or ears -- why, he's almost handsome...."
