Lothrop ran as the Prohibition candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in both 1885 and 1886, losing both times. Handsomely printed broadside with the town of Stoneham identified at top margin. OCLC notes only one other copy of a similar Prohibition broadside from this election--from Medford, Massachusetts.
