Pinback button promoting Charles Hughes for president, 1916. A. J. Keil Co., Philadelphia.
Handsome multicolor celluloid button picturing the former Supreme Court justice who narrowly lost to Woodrow Wilson. Hughes would later serve as Secretary of State under Harding and Coolidge, and would be re-appointed to the high court by Hoover, where he was a conservative roadblock to much of Roosevelt's New Deal reform agenda.
