With the 2016 National Republican Convention happening next week in Cleveland, our State Archives got into the mood by sending us a few photos from the 1964 GOP Convention in San Francisco. The top photo shows Washington delegates holding up Dan Evans signs inside the Cow Palace, which housed the convention. (Evans successfully ran for governor that year, serving three consecutive terms.) The middle shot features Dan and Nancy Evans with an elephant, the Republican Party’s mascot. The bottom photo shows Evans supporters filling a large balloon that read "GET A LIFT WITH DAN EVANS." (Someone apparently thought better than having it read, "GET HIGH...")

The photos are featured in the latest issue of COLUMBIA Magazine, which is published by the Washington State Historical Society.
