Title: Great Republican Harrison and Morton, campaign ball, 1888
Creator(s): Holmes, Wm. B., publisher
Date Created/Published: c1888.
Summary: Photograph shows man, possibly D. E. Brockett, leaning against gigantic campaign ball that was rolled for Benjamin Harrison. The phrase 'get the ball rolling' comes from a campaign publicity activity that began in 1840 with rowdy men and boys rolling a large ball from town-to-town to bring attention to their candidate.
Notes:
Inscription on ball: 'Old Allegany in 1840 started the ball for Harrison; In '88 as they did then, We roll it on for Gallant Ben. Roll along, Roll away,' Keep the ball in motion; The spirit of our men is up from Rocky Hills to Ocean.'
