Kanas Prohibition Canidates Poster

This poster, offered by an antiquarian book dealer in October of 2023, is from the Prohibition Party archive of campaign memorabilia collected by Earl Dodge using (mostly) money provided by the Prohibition Trust Fund.  After Dodge's death, his relatives claimed ownership of the items and disposed of them for their own benefit.
