Political campaigns in the 1900s were characterized by their reliance on grassroots efforts, with candidates often engaging directly with voters through rallies, parades, and door-to-door canvassing. The use of print media, such as newspapers and pamphlets, was predominant for disseminating campaign messages, as Mass Communication technologies like radio and television were not yet available. Additionally, the political landscape was heavily influenced by party machinery and local political bosses, which played a significant role in candidate selection and voter mobilization. Overall, the campaigns were more personal and localized compared to the highly orchestrated media strategies seen in contemporary politics.
The Hatch Act, passed by Congress in 1939, made it illegal for federal civil service employees to take an active part in political management or political campaigns. The purpose of the act is to maintain a fair and nonpartisan government. Violations of the act can result in disciplinary actions or termination.

The best answer I can come up with is that there was significant pressure applied by the American public who were becoming angry with politicians due to the increased corporate influence on politics and the corruption that follows it. After Theodore Roosevelt was implicated after accepting a donation (something like $25,000) he added it to his platform and vowed that if elected he would pass a law that made it illegal for corporations to contribute to political campaigns. He was elected and he made good on his promise and pressured congress into passing the Tillman Act of 1907 which made it illegal for corporations to contribute to political elections (they could still contribute to primaries however). Since the mid 70s though corporate influence on politics has increased dramatically to the point that the Supreme Court in Citizens United v. The Federal Election Commission 2010 decided that it is unconstitutional (violation of the 1st ammend) to ban corporations, associations, and unions from donating funds to political campaigns. Meaning that now corporate influence on politics is at an all time high.

Voters can overcome biased information in political campaigns by seeking diverse sources of news and information, including reputable independent media outlets and fact-checking organizations. Engaging in discussions with individuals who hold different viewpoints can also provide a broader perspective. Additionally, voters should critically evaluate the claims made by candidates and their supporters, verifying facts before forming opinions or making decisions. Lastly, educating themselves about the political process and the issues at stake can empower voters to make informed choices.
