Arthur Garfield Dove owed his given names to the Republican presidential ticket* of 1880, the year he was born in Upstate New York.

...York politics, and blustering Mike Quill, president of the Transport Workers Union. With such a ragtag army, Wagner is almost sure to lose to Levitt if he insists on entering the Democratic primary. But the mayor is also the Liberal Party candidate, and can run on the Liberal ticket in the general election. At that time voters will have to make their choice from a list including not only Wagner and Levitt, but also Republican Candidate Louis J. Lefkowitz and City Controller Lawrence E. Gerosa. Gerosa has broken with both the mayor and the Tammany bosses, will...
