Presidential propaganda token.

[Garabaldi]

William Taft was our 27th President of the US. He ran against Bryant and won in 1909-1913. Taft was a graduate of Yale with honors and the only President to go on to be Chief Justice of the US. He was teased quite a bit for his weight. I found this Token and haven't been able to find any images or reference on the internet, so we are leaning toward a propaganda token possibly released by his running mate Bryant. It may be scarce and highly collectible to those who collect Presidential memorabilia. Basically the token is saying we can't say anything negative about his character, virtue, intelligence, but one thing we can say is he has a large arse.

What an interesting piece, I've seen many political tokens, but none like this.
The ambiguity of the quotation must be Victorian Propriety.
I dug a W J Bryan Medal in Pewter last year

Cool token!

The verbiage on the back is really interesting. I can't tell if it is intended to put him down or promote him. Am I alone in thinking it's implying that he has a big butt?
