The Andrew Johnson Song

If Andrew Johnson
Hadn't been such a stubborn cuss
Congress would be running the country today--

A reality from which may the Lord ever deliver us!

Postcard - Everett, Washington

"Boeing Company, World's Largest Building, Everett, Washington. Nestled in the shadows of magnificent Mt. Baker and the Cascade Mountains is this 205,000,000 cu. ft. (volume) assembly building for the BOEING 747 -- World's Largest Commercial Jet Liner. It is 115 ft. high (ten stories), covers 42.8 acres under one roof and measures more than 1/4 mile in either direction. Each door shown in front wall is 87 ft. x 300 ft. -- nearly half the surface of a city block."

From 1979.

Everett native and presidential candidate Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson, who served as a powerful U.S. Senator had a reputation as a Vietnam War hawk but was liberal on social issues. Locally we called him "The Senator from Boeing."

Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1988

Don Bonker, U.S. Senate

Congressman Bonker had a strong showing in the 1988 U.S. Senate Washington State primary, but fell short of gaining the Democratic spot for the general election.

Mike Lowry, U.S. Senate

On the curl: Paid for by Mike Lowery [sic] For U.S. Senate Committee, Mary Lowery Treasurer

Possibly from his earlier run for the same office in the 1983 special election, but I'm guessing I picked this up in 1988. He lost both elections, but went on to serve one term as Washington State Governor, 1993-1997.

I got kids. I'm for Maggie.

On the curl: 241-L

This button was part of the re-election campaign for U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson of Washington State.

Interesting use of informal, handwritten letters on the button.

Maggie.

A button for U.S. Sen. Warren Magnuson, representing Washington State. Probably from 1968, but possibly from 1974 or 1980.

Wrong again.

Republican Jack Metcalf used this phrase as his campaign theme in his unsuccessful bid to unseat incumbent U.S. Senator Warren Magnuson of Washington State in 1968.

Buttons - Federal Campaign - 1974

Senator Cranston

I picked this button up in the summer of 1974 in Santa Barbara, California. Alan Cranston, a Democrat, was running for a second term in the U.S. Senate.
