- Description
- Beanies were a popular style of headgear in the United States in the early twentieth century. This one promoted James Cox, the 1920 Democratic presidential nominee. Cox, the governor of Ohio, lost to a senator from his own state, Republican Warren G. Harding. Although Cox lost this race, a better future awaited his running mate. Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only losing vice presidential candidate to later be elected president.
