I found these in an old jewelry box. There's little room for doubt about my family's party allegiance back in the day. We were urban blue collar union Democrats. Eisenhower vs.Stevenson was the first election I remember -- my mom was handing out leaflets for the League of Women Voters -- and Humphrey was the only candidate I ever campaigned for (though I was too young to vote). The FDR button is about the size of a dime, the Stevenson about the size of a nickle, and the Humphrey a little smaller than a quarter.
I dug up an Adlai button in the yard. It's about the size of a quarter.

Dimes, nickels, quarters. It's always about "change," isn't it?
