BUCK’S STATEMENT:
On one side, a quiet woodland stream — autumn light filtering through tall trees, a buck pausing at the water’s edge. It’s the kind of scene familiar to anyone who has walked Wisconsin woods at daybreak, when the air is cool and the world feels steady. On the other side, the practical business of democracy — a 1932 campaign for Winnebago County Sheriff, carried into the heat of late summer during the depths of the Great Depression.
This fan bridges two enduring parts of Midwestern life: the land and civic duty. Hunting seasons and election seasons, both marking time in their own way. Handed out at parades, fairs, or courthouse gatherings, it once cooled voters as they listened to speeches about “Faithful Service.” Today, it stands as a reminder that even in uncertain times, communities gathered, ballots were cast, and life moved forward beneath the same trees and open skies.
