This listing is for the photographed 1940 Massachusetts Republican Nominees "Saltonstall, Cahill, Willkie, McNary, Parkman" Campaign Button. 7/8" button size. These pins were made to promote the Republican Nominees in the Massachusetts Gubernatorial and Senatorial Elections of 1940, as well as the US Presidential Election of 1940. The nominees shown on this pin include Governor Leverett Saltonstall and Lt. Governor Horace T. Cahill, who won their reelection campaign in 1940. Henry Parkman Jr. ran as the Republican nominee for the Massachusetts Senatorial race in 1940 but lost to the democratic nominee. Wendell Willkie and his running mate Charles L. McNary ran in the Election of 1940 as the Republican Candidate but lost to the Democratic candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt. These pins are in the smaller antique style of pins that are commonly seen in political buttons of this period. Super cool rarer election pin! 

Excellent piece of Massachusetts and United States political history! Unique find!
