1912 Woodrow Wilson \"WILSON\" Celluloid Campaign Button For Sale

Pinback button promoting Woodrow Wilson for president, 1912. No maker mark. Union shop mark at curl and verso.

The only president until Barack Obama to come from an academic background, Wilson\'s was an unlikely political rise. Having gained notoriety as a political theorist and historian, and later as Princeton University president, he was tapped by the New Jersey Democratic Party to run for governor.

Once in office, his reputation as a reformer made him a contender for the presidential nomination two years later. Prevailing at the convention against entrenched rivals, he entered the most hotly contested presidential race in history. Largely overshadowed by his opponents, President Taft and Ex-President Roosevelt, a divided Republican camp swung the election in his favor, and he won in an electoral landslide, but with only 42% of the popular vote.

We offer this original celluloid button from Wilson\'s historic 1912 campaign.
