John Boynton Philip Clayton Hill's campaign for election as Congressman from the Third Congressional District (November, 1922) is well represented by letters, telegrams, receipted bills, and financial reports. Located in the Prints and Photographs Division is a campaign button advocating William Cable Bruce for Senator.

In addition to the scrapbook are three bound volumes of survey reports and one bound volume concerning the plan of harbor development.
