"Here's the Tally Sheet Pick the Winner," 1916 Presidential Election
01
Artifact Overview
In 1916, Republicans nominated Charles Evans Hughes for president. Hughes, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, appealed to Republican leaders looking to unite the party after its conservative-progressive split in 1912. This brochure touted Hughes' progressive labor record--a tactic to lure voters away from Democrat Woodrow Wilson, the equally progressive incumbent president. It almost worked--Hughes narrowly lost.
