"By the time this Presidential campaign is over, there will have been twice as many buttons worn for the candidates as total votes cast for them. More than 40,000,000 official buttons will be distributed by November and at least as many unofficial ones. To record for history one aspect of the campaign, a representative collection of buttons is reproduced here."
I'd like to have either an FDR or WW button! As the first candidate to use buttons, it would be really neat to have one from McKinley. I find them interesting.
