Pinback button promoting Benjamin Bubar for president and Earl Dodge for vice president, 1976. Litho. Hewig & Marvic, Brooklyn.Though a far cry from the party's heyday in the early years of the century, the Prohibition Party experienced a small resurgence in the 1970s. The Bubar-Dodge ticket appeared on the ballot in nine states and polled close to 20,000 votes nationally.
This whimsical button, featuring a camel (mascot of the party) wearing sunglasses, saw wide distribution and is as popular with collectors as it was with voters!
