| Summary: | Advertisement [which was placed on a sandwich board outside a newsagent] advertising the paper “The United Irishman”. Similar to a cartoon strip, it features three illustrations, each within a separate box - the first illustration on the left-hand side features a man at a podium. A sign on the front of the podium reads “Straight Vote”. A top hat (placed upside-down on its crown) and an umbrella are placed to the left of the podium. The man leans with his right hand on the ledge of the podium; his left arm is stretched upward, where he points to a banner behind him that bears the letters “F.F.” in two circles. The second illustration shows the same man with the same items; he is shown with his right hand above his head. The two letters (“F.F”) on the banner are shown with two elongated arms on the letter “F”. In the third illustration, the man is shown in the same setting, pointing with both hands to the emblems in the background; the letters “F.F” on the banner have been replaced by two swastikas. Underneath (in black font): “GIVE US THE STRAIGHT VOTE AND WE'LL FINISH THE JOB!”. Underneath this (in black font, with the letters “P” and “R” in bright red font): “WHY P.R. MEANS PEOPLES' RIGHTS / READ THE UNITED IRISHMAN. Referendums were held by Fianna Fail Governments in 1959 and 1968. |
