Why did Benjamin Harrison use the slogan Grandfather's Hat fits Ben during his campaign?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"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."
