      ab: The article discusses how presidential candidates try to appeal to public opinion by remarking on their similarities in social class experience, while opponents rail about differences, focusing particularly on the election of 1840 and the campaign by upper class William Henry Harrison against incumbent President Martin Van Buren, who grew up in the Hudson Valley of New York as a son of a tavern keeper who was not good at money management, but learned how to dress to impress by apprenticing to lawyers. The speech made by U.S. Representative Charles Ogle of Pennsylvania about Van Buren in 1840 is explored.
