Help Pave Way To White House
Washington--Former President John Quincy Adams condemned the aggressive campaign waged in 1840 by supporters of Presidential candidates WiDiam Henry Harrison and Martin Van Buren.
“One of the most remarkable peculiarities of the present time,’’ Adams wrote, “is that the principal elders of the political parties are traveling about the country from State to State, and holding forth, like Methodist preachers, hour after hour, to assembled multitudes.”
Adams’ own political career was far more genteel. The practice of waging a modern-style public campaign for the Presidency did not begin until 1840, the National Geographic Society says. Some candidates relish vigorously seeking office; others hate it. William Howard Taft, for one, described his 1908 campaign as “one of the most uncomfortable four months of my life.”
