Original ticket to the Young Democratic Clubs of Wisconsin State Convention Annual Convention banquet, 4.5 x 3, held on March 19, 1960, at the Memorial Hall in Racine, signed on the front in blue ballpoint. Some scattered light toning and foxing, and pencil notations in another hand on reverse, otherwise fine condition. In just the second national primary of 1960, Kennedy challenged Hubert Humphrey in an effort to prove his ability to win in the midwest. He won the state, mainly due to a heavy catholic voter turnout, leaving many to still wonder about Kennedy’s appeal to non-Catholic voters. He managed to squash any doubt as he trounced Humphrey three months later in West Virginia and went on to secure the Democratic nomination and the presidency.
