- Lot Description
Rare campaign pinback, 1.25 in. diameter, by St. Louis Button Co., with jugate portraits of August Gillhaus and Donald L. Munro, the Socialist Labor Party ticket for the 1908 presidential election. The SLP made the ballot in 15 of 46 states and received a total of 14,031 votes -- just 0.09%. Gillhaus was not the original presidential nominee, but filled in for Morrie Preston when he was arrested and imprisoned on bogus murder charges after leading a miner's strike in Goldfield, Nevada. The SLP was America's first socialist party, founded in 1876, but a sizable faction of the party left in 1899 to become the Socialist Party of America, which had a much stronger showing in the 1908 election behind candidate Eugene Debs, capturing over 420,000 votes and 2.83% for a third place finish, ahead of the Prohibition, Independence, and Populist parties, all of which bested the SLP.
