Notes |
Democrat Henry Ward lost the 1967 Kentucky Governor's race to Republican Louie B. Nunn. This object was donated on November 28, 1989 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. |
