Election — Election
As early as 1840, when a political party promiseJ the voter “'Two Dollar^ a Day and Roast Beef,” the slojgan was ?s much a part of presidential election campaigns as the handshake and the stump.
It’s la fitting arena for the slogan, which was once the battle cry of the Scots. The word comes from “slaugh”, meaning “army”, and
‘‘gairrrj”, or “call.”
The! voters of 1840 took up the battle ifor two dollars, conceding that “Yan, Van (Martin Van Buren) is a Used-up Man.” They gave their votes to “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too”.William Henry Harriscin, the hero of the Indian battle of Tippecanoe, and his run-ning mate, John Tyler.
In 1864, when Lincoln was running for a second term, the Union was warned: “Don’t swap horses in the Middle of the Stream.” The cry was to echo 80 years later, when Franklin D. Roosevelt Won a fourth term in the dark years of World War II.
