Image
Framed assortment of campaign buttons for the presidential elections of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and William Taft (1912), Woodrow Wilson and Charles Hughes (1916), Warren Harding and James Cox (1920), and Calvin Coolidge, John Davis, and Robert La Follette Sr. (1924). Most are simple round buttons with either the names of the candidates, portraits, the Republican elephant, Democratic donkey, or Progressive moose. One pin is an image of a club, for Roosevelt's 'big stick,' and another is a rooster for James Cox. Among the buttons is an invitation to The Jefferson Club's Banquet in support of James Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
