Campaign Materials
Pamphlet Collection

This pamphlet collection contains fliers, brochures, cards, buttons, booklets, and other assorted campaign materials used by candidates in both national and Montana state or local elections since 1892. The collection provides a glimpse into the public mindset on such social issues of the day as prohibition, the World Wars, Roosevelt’s bid for a third term, McCarthyism and the Red Scare of the 1950s, Vietnam, Nixon and the Watergate scandal, and many other controversial issues of the period. The collection also includes material from Montana’s Constitutional Convention (Con. Con.) held in the early 1970s, as well as materials relating to a number of short-lived third parties and their candidates. The "Elections (Montana)" folder of the Montana Pamphlet Collection contains additional related material.
