1920List2706Chicago or New York 1920. 6 x 9 inches single sided. Toning several small stains small fold at top left corner; near fine. An anonymous handbill decrying lynching in the United States and advertising the differences in anti-lynching policy between the Republican and Democratic parties. The header states that “Everyone agrees that lynching is the chief crime against the colored man in the United States†and the remainder illustrates the great disagreement over just what to do about it. The left column quotes the Republican platform and its then-nominees Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge who would shortly be elected to office on their support for federal anti-lynching legislation. The right column points out that the Democratic platform and its nominees James M. Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt all “said: NOTHING!†on this issue. Lynching would not be made a federal hate crime until 2022 nearly 100 years later. As of writing we find no other copies of this handbill in OCLC. unknown

19604337Various locations in and around Chicago Il: likely early November 1960. Very good plus. Title leaf plus 25 leaves illustrated with forty-seven silver gelatin photographs pasted one per leaf or page all about 5.5 x 7.5 inches plus five loose images two duplicates and three other images not pasted in. Square quarto. Contemporary tan cloth custom photograph album metal-hinged spine front cover printed with title reading "ELECTION 1960." Minor wear and soiling to album. Light occasional thumb-soiling to album leaves ownership signature reading "G. Robert Hillman" on title leaf. Photographs in excellent condition. An utterly charming vernacular photograph album assembled during the seminal Presidential Election of 1960 one of the closest presidential elections in United States history which pitted Vice President Richard Nixon against the junior Senator from Massachusetts John F. Kennedy. The album features about fifty original photographs on the campaign trail in Illinois beginning with about a dozen-and-a-half images of Richard Nixon and his local supporters. The photographs capture various angles of Nixon during his stump speech a young boy waving an "I'm for Nixon" handmade sign another young boy with a Nixon button on his coat crowd scenes a large campaign sign for Nixon-Lodge outside a local store and more. One image featuring a mixed crowd of Nixon and Kennedy supporters transitions into the next section of photographs which concentrates on JFK's campaign. The first image in this section is a closeup of a "Kennedy for President" hat followed by four images of JFK's campaign manager Robert Kennedy making a speech three images of Eleanor Roosevelt stumping for Kennedy five images of Lyndon Johnson and his airplane numerous shots of Kennedy supporters and crowd shots outside Chicago Blackhawks stadium. The photographs then feature the inside of Chicago Auditorium where the first three images depict John F. Kennedy - the first shaking hands with Chicago's longtime Mayor Richard Daley and two during his speech likely his speech of November 4 1960 - just four days before Election Day. The final three images show supporters of both candidates.<br /> <br /> The 1960 United States Presidential Election was a watershed moment for the campaign politics of the country. Senator Kennedy won the election with a clear Electoral College margin of 303 to 219. However Vice President Nixon won three more states than Kennedy and lost the popular vote only by about 110000 votes out of more than 68 million votes cast. The election set the course for most of the remainder of the 1960s but left Nixon soured and suspicious that the election had been stolen from him - a feeling he never let go and one with ominous echoes today. As indicated in the present album the 1960 presidential election was passionate on both sides with each candidate drawing large enthusiastic crowds for their appearances.<br /> <br /> The signature on the title leaf of the present album likely identifies the compiler. G. Robert Hillman is a Senior Editor for Politico. Hillman was born in Peoria and grew up on a farm near Flanagan Illinois about a hundred miles from Chicago. He went to college at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and began his career at Chicago Today and the Chicago Sun-Times. Hillman would have been in middle school during the 1960 election campaign not too precocious for a young man obsessed with politics especially during one of the most heated and media-intensive campaigns of the 20th century. likely early November unknown

His Republican opponent was Governor Alf Landon of Kansas. Although the Great Depression had entered its eighth year Roosevelt's New Deal policies were broadly popular. He won the highest share of the popular and electoral vote since the uncontested 1820 election. Roosevelt attracted more than 60 percent of the popular vote and won the electoral votes of 46 states; Landon won the electoral votes of only Maine and Vermont.</p><p>Democratic Party chairman James Farley had predicted that Roosevelt would lose only Maine and Vermont.

Farley on July 2 1936 three weeks before the Democratic Party held its convention in Philadelphia. There is no evidence that these images were used in the campaign and it is possible that Farley rejected them. At the end of the campaign the Democratic National Committee had a campaign deficit of approximately $850000. To help offset those expenses the treasurer convinced President Roosevelt to sign 2500 brief Forewords which were bound into <i>The Democratic Book 1936</i> and sent to donors of $250. Purchases brought in more than $400000 for the party and led Republicans to charge corrupt practices for allowing corporations to contribute to the campaign by buying copies.</p><p><b>Franz Felix</b> 1892-1967 was born in Vienna Austria and developed an ability as a child to draw portraits in charcoal. He studied portraiture in Vienna and immigrated to the United States shortly after World War I.

In the late 1920s he moved to New York and established a studio in the suburb of Spring Valley where he produced book and magazine illustrations. During World War II he painted a series of murals of wartime activities of Spring Valley residents.</p><p><b>James A. Farley</b> 1888-1976 was born in New York into an Irish Catholic family. After his father died he helped his mother with a small business to support the family. After graduating from Packard Business College in New York City where he studied bookkeeping and other business skills Farley got a job with the U.S. Gypsum Corporation. He served as a Democratic town clerk in Stony Point New York and became chairman of the county's Democratic Party in 1918. He organized upstate Democrats and helped elect Alfred E.

As chair of the state Athletic Commission Farley fought for the civil rights of African American athletes. Farley founded he General Builders Corporation from smaller firms to become New York City's largest building supply company. Farley directed Franklin D.
