Item Description
15/16". An interesting split-ticket coattail from 1932 that features the Democratic nominees for President and Vice President alongside a Republican nominee for Texas Governor, Orville Bullington. Bullington was running against Miriam "Ma" Ferguson, the Democratic nominee. Many Democrats in Texas were dismayed by the nomination of Ferguson in 1932, and believed the primary to be riddled w/ fraudulent votes.  As a result, "Roosevelt-Garner-Bullington Clubs" sprouted up across the state. Most of the clubs consisted almost entirely of Democrats. Only light surface wear. Extremely Fine.
