  • Political Campaign Buttons Donated by Mr
    Donation of the Month Political Campaign Buttons Donated by Mr. and Mrs. Cass Hough, Betty Fischer, Amy Cawley, and Nancy Robbins In an election year, political campaign propaganda comes in many forms. Today, much of the campaign advertising is seen on television; however, staunch supporters still wear their candidate’s face or slogan on campaign pins and buttons. What they may not realize is that political buttons have been around almost as long the Presidency! In 1789, George Washington, America’s first president, wore the first political button at his inauguration. His supporters also wore buttons; they were clothing buttons made of brass and reading, “G.W.-Long Live the President.” Political memorabilia like buttons, ribbons, even china, were made to commemorate the early presidents but campaign buttons as we know them were not used until much later. In 1860, the development of photographic daguerreotypes and tintypes allowed actual images of the presidential candidates to be placed on campaign memorabilia. Buttons featured Abraham Lincoln’s face for the 1860 and 1864 elections. Most were not actual buttons but were small tintype photographs with metal rings and holes punched into the top where a ribbon was used to wear the photo. The first campaign button like we think of today was popularized by the 1896 presidential elections. The buttons were made with a metal backing; a printed photograph or slogan was placed on the backing and a thin piece of transparent celluloid plastic was placed on top. All of these parts were put together by a machine and a metal pin was attached to the back.

Highlights include television “programs” featuring speeches by JFK, a campaign spot and interview with Mrs. Kennedy, excerpts of televised presidential debates, and the Kennedy jingle.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus MINNESOTA VOTERS ALLIANCE ET AL. v. MANSKY ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT No. 16–1435. Argued February 28, 2018—Decided June 14, 2018 Minnesota law prohibits individuals, including voters, from wearing a “political badge, political button, or other political insignia” inside a polling place on Election Day. Minn. Stat. §211B.11(1) (Supp. 2017). This “political apparel ban” covers articles of clothing and accessories with political insignia upon them. State election judges have the au- thority to decide whether a particular item falls within the ban. Vio- lators are subject to a civil penalty or prosecution for a petty misde- meanor. Days before the November 2010 election, petitioner Minnesota Vot- ers Alliance (MVA) and other plaintiffs challenged the ban in Federal District Court on First Amendment grounds. In response to the law- suit, the State distributed an Election Day Policy to election officials providing guidance on enforcement of the ban. The Election Day Pol- icy specified examples of prohibited apparel to include items display- ing the name of a political party, items displaying the name of a can- didate, items supporting or opposing a ballot question, “[i]ssue oriented material designed to influence or impact voting,” and “[m]aterial promoting a group with recognizable political views.” App.

  • The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff Of
    PORTRAIT OF A SOUTHERN PROGRESSIVE: THE POLITICAL LIFE AND TIMES OF GOVERNOR PAT M. NEFF OF TEXAS, 1871-1952 Mark Stanley, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2011 APPROVED: Richard B. McCaslin, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of History Elizabeth Hayes Turner, Committee Member Roberto Calderón, Committee Member Aaron Navarro, Committee Member John Todd, Committee Member James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Stanley, Mark. Portrait of a Southern Progressive: The Political Life and Times of Governor Pat M. Neff of Texas, 1871-1952. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May 2011, 361 pp., references, 150 titles. Pat M. Neff was a product of his political place and time. Born in Texas in 1871, during Reconstruction, he matured and prospered while his native state did the same as it transitioned from Old South to New South. Neff spent most of his life in Waco, a town that combined New South Progressivism with religious conservatism. This duality was reflected in Neff’s own personality. On moral or religious issues, he was conservative. On economic and social issues, he was Progressive. He thus was a typical Southern Progressive who de-emphasized social and political change in favor of economic development. For instance, as governor from 1921 to 1925, his work to develop and conserve Texas’ water resources brought urbanization and industrialization that made the New South a reality in the state. Neff was a devout Baptist which influenced his politics and philosophy. He was president of Baylor University, a Baptist institution, for fifteen years after leaving the governor s office and he led the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the 1940s.
