An Original 1916 Woodrow Wilson Presidential Campaign ButtonPinback button promoting Woodrow Wilson for president, 1916. Ehrman Mfg. Co., Boston. Original backpaper.Classic slogan button, emphasizing Wilson's effectiveness as Commander-in-Chief.The only president until Barack Obama to come from an academic background, Wilson's was an unlikely political rise. Having gained notoriety as a political theorist and historian, and later as Princeton University president, he was tapped by the New Jersey Democratic Party to run for governor. Once in office, his reputation as a reformer made him a contender for the presidential nomination two years later. Prevailing at the convention against entrenched rivals, he entered the most hotly contested presidential race in history. Largely overshadowed by his opponents, President Taft and Ex-President Roosevelt, a divided Republican camp swung the election in his favor, and he won in an electoral landslide (but with only 42% of the popular vote).Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 - February 3, 1924) was an American statesman, lawyer, and academic who served as the 28th president of the United States from 1913 to 1921. A member of the Democratic Party, Wilson served as the president of Princeton University and as the 34th governor of New Jersey before winning the 1912 presidential election.
