Hooray For Bill McKinley - 1896 Campaign Song

This is a YouTube video of what might be President William McKinley's 1896 campaign song, "Hooray For Bill McKInley." It was considered the first moving images of a president. It was filmed on the front lawn of his Ohio home. McKinley is the fellow on the right.



McKinley was probably the first presidential candidate to offer supporters the most prolific range of campaign songs to sing while they waited for him to come speak to them on his front lawn.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
