LaFollette-Wheeler Peoples Choice

Robert LaFollette and Burton Wheeler are pictured on this 1924 Progressive Party jugate. It’s a rare 1 1/2 inch celluloid with Steiner back paper. A good-looking pin from the final hurrah of LaFollette’s long and illustrious career. He died less than a year after this campaign, one of the great third party attempts in U.S. history. Excellent condition.
