Dewey Bricker Campaign Button

This is an original campaign button from the 1944 Election campaign of Dewey and Bricker for President and Vice President of the United States. Dewey easily overcame Bricker and was nominated on the first ballot. In a bid to maintain party unity, Dewey, a moderate, chose the conservative Bricker as his running mate; Bricker was nominated by acclamation. This is a large 2" (in 1944 this was considered a large button) in very good condition.
