"Here's the Tally Sheet Pick the Winner," 1916 Presidential Election
Republican National Committee (U.S.)1916
The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States

Hughes, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, appealed to Republican leaders looking to unite the party after its conservative-progressive split in 1912. This brochure touted Hughes' progressive labor record--a tactic to lure voters away from Democrat Woodrow Wilson, the equally progressive incumbent president. It almost worked--Hughes narrowly lost.
