Title	[Dockweiler for Congress matchbook]
Creator	Unknown
Date Published	[1938]
Description	A match book cover promoting John F. Dockweiler's 1932 campaign for Congress. The cover reads "DOCKWEILER For Congress" with a black-and-white portrait of the politician. A subsequent owner has written by hand in ink, "Don't they all look alike?" along one edge of the cover.
Historical Background	The Dockweiler family has been closely intertwined with Los Angeles religious, political, and civic life. John Francis Dockweiler (d. 1943) was one of thirteen children born to Isidore Dockweiler (1867-1947) and Gertrude Reeve Dockweiler (1871-1937), eleven of whom survived infancy. John Francis followed in his father's political footsteps, serving as a Democratic U.S. Congressman (1933-1939), District Attorney of Los Angeles County (1940-1943), and running unsuccessfully for governor of California in the 1938 Democratic primary.
