CAMPAIGN SLOGANS & CANDIDATE'S NICKNAMES 

Slogans and nicknames are a significant part of our political language and have been associated with presidents and candidates since George Washington.  However, meanings, so apparent to one generation, can quickly become mysteries to later generations.  The following alphabetical list attributes campaign slogans and candidate nicknames that actually appear on campaign items, sometimes with a picture of the candidate, but very often without specifying the candidate's name.  Nicknames and many slogans apply to a single candidate, but some slogans, particularly throughout the 19th century, are used for several different candidates in elections spanning many years.  To identify by candidate those items with slogans used by multiple candidates, referring to Hake's Encyclopedia of Political Buttons is probably the best first step.
