All Adlai Stevenson's, as this button for Adlai Stevenson the III shows () the Stevenson's have had a long line of Governors in Illinois. Adlai the III refused to run with his elected Lt. Gubernatorial running mate in 1982 because he was a member of Lyndon LaRouche's cult. He then ran under the Independence Party and chose his own running mate. The new ticket was recognised by the Illinois Democratic Party. |
