Великий республиканец Харрисон и Хемсворт, предвыборный бал, 1888 год

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.
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."
