Notes |
Texas Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson, who assumed the presidency in 1963 following John Kennedy's assasination, won his only full term in 1964 over the conservative Republican senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater. This object was donated on December 5, 1997 by Drexell R. Davis. Davis, a self-described "Yellow Dog" Democrat, held several elected positions in the Kentucky state government. His thirty-three years of public service prompted his interest in collecting political memorabilia. |
