10.5x12” Newsprint with three folds and pair of 1” edge tears repaired on blank reverse. This fascinating piece was distributed in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the 1950 election. Of greatest interest is “Helen G. Douglas”, the first Democratic woman elected to Congress (1944) from California. In 1950, she ran for the Senate against U.S. Rep. Richard Nixon. Losing to Nixon, she was seen by her supporters as the victim of a smear campaign. Alluding to her alleged “Red” sympathies, Nixon hinted that she was a fellow traveler, citing as evidence the correlation of her votes with those of a far-left member of Congress. Douglas’s opponent for the nomination, Manchester Boddy, had referred to her as “The Pink Lady” and said that she was “Pink Right Down To Her Underwear.” Nixon continued this line of attack. His campaign manager, Murray Chotiner, even had flyers printed on sheets of pink paper. Douglas, in return, popularized a nickname for Nixon which became one of the most enduring nicknames in American politics: “Tricky Dick.” Also on this sheet is FDR’s son James Roosevelt who lost the contest for Governor and Congressional candidates Havenner and George Miller, whose son is now in Congress.
