Who Dat? – D

There was a button we used in a recent ScuttleButton puzzle that listed two candidates — “Re-elect Joe & Art/Vote Republican” — candidates whose identity we don’t know.  In fact, we often come across buttons whose origins have escaped us.  Thus, every now and then we post some of these unknown items, in the hope that you can identify them.

Here’s another selection of campaign items of candidates whose last name begins with a “D.”  Does anyone know who these folks are?  (The blurred two-candidate button in line two are for “B.H. Dodge” and “H.H. Wickwire.”  The red tab towards the bottom says “Dineen.”  And I think the “Danielson” in the top row pre-dates George Danielson of California.)

  4. I know this is a bit late, but. . . State Rep. Marvin R. Dee served in the Illinois House as a Republican from the 20th District. Elected in 1972, he served only one term. See Illinois Blue Book, 1973-74, p. 95, and 1977-78, p.211. The slogan was apropos, because he was “the one Republican” elected from a three-member district.

  5. Wickwire and Dodge are Canadian politicians who ran for an were elected to, what is called a “dual member constituency in the province of Nova Scotia Canada. The button is from sometime between 1900-1910, I believe. They represented the Liberal Party.
