Wilson-Marshall Campaign Button, 1912-1916
01
Artifact Overview
Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president in 1912 and 1916. Party officials chose Indiana governor Thomas Marshall as his running mate each time. The pair did not work well together. The intellectual, activist Wilson rarely consulted with his unassuming yet genial vice president. Marshall remained distant from the White House throughout Wilson's term in office, even after the president suffered a debilitating stroke.
