| Title: | McKinley and Roosevelt Campaign Lantern |
| Object Type: | Lantern |
| Participants: | |
| Physical Description: | Campaign candle lantern with wooden pail-type handle; there are cutouts with painted screens and paper that read: "McKinley and Roosevelt" on one side and "4 years more of the full dinner pail" on the other side. |
| Description: | In 1900, McKinley and Roosevelt campaigned for U. S. President and Vice President under the slogan "4 Years More of the Full Dinner Pail." They distributed tin candle lanterns labeled with the slogan, as well as traditional lapel buttons marked "Employment for Labor / A Full Dinner Bucket / Prosperity / Sound Money - Good Markets." Not intended to last beyond election, the lantern's metal is scratched and tarnished and its words are faded, possibly from the heat of its burning candle. |
