Title	Harrison - Morton campaign bandana
Subject	Harrison, Benjamin, 1833-1901 Political collectibles Campaign paraphernalia Buttons Presidents -- United States Indiana Indiana -- History Presidents -- United States -- Election -- 1888 Souvenirs (Keepsakes)
Description	Benjamin Harrison and Levi Morton represented the Republican Party in the 1888 Presidential election. The campaign gave away banners, buttons, ribbons and bandanas like this one to inspire voters to vote for them. In swing states Indiana and New York, these souvenirs helped them win the presidency in the electoral college despite losing the popular vote by 100,456 votes. A former Union general, President Harrison signed the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890 to restrain businesses from reducing competition. William Henry Harrison, his grandfather, served briefly as the ninth President of the United States before dying in office.
