Thought it was kind of neat to find this token ..I looked up the name and I guess he was running for governor in Wisconsin in 1914 . I see they wanted less government , lower taxes , less inspectors , and wants to give the government back to the people ...This was a hundred years ago ! I guess he must have lost ! Either way its beat up , but is a pretty kewl token..One of the neater ones I have found in the last 35 years of detecting .

I love them old tokens bud. Nice hunt.

Nice finds.
The token is neat although its Democratic
Karel was twice an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of Wisconsin, losing to incumbent Francis E. McGovern in 1912 and to Emanuel L. Philipp in 1914.
