William H. Harrison and John Tyler
Let the People Rule, often confused with Tippecanoe and Tyler Too (William Henry Harrison's)
He didn't have one.
The first president of the United States to campaign actively was William Harrison. Harrison was with the Whig party.
"Ben" was first name and his grandfather, William Henry Harrison, was President in 1841. Throughout his life, though, he was determined to rely on his own efforts and achievements rather than ride on his grandfather's coattails. He once told a crowd of his grandfather's admirers, "He will not build high who had not built for himself." Despite his continuous attempts to distance himself from his grandfather's fame, Harrison's campaign managers did exploit the relationship during his presidential campaign with the slogan, "Grandfather's Hat Fits Ben."
Tippecanoe and Tyler, too!"
"Dont swap horses midstream"
That was the campaign slogan for William Harrison in the election of 1840.
Benjamin Harrison was the grandson of President William Henry Harrison. Benjamin had made a lifelong effort to succeed on his own without cashing in on the family name, but his supporters still used the slogan in his campaign.
That was the campaign slogan for William Harrison and John Tyler during the Election of 1840. It refers to Harrison's leadership as Governor of Indiana during the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.

Harrison is not usually associated with one particular quote. One I like is: "I contend that the strongest of all governments is that which is most free." Use the related link to see other quotes by him.
