Use of Political Placards

[Nancy Peterson <petersonn@UNIT375.WOODFORD.K12.IL.US>]

With all the conversation about the recent election, several teachers were
discussing various aspects of the lengthy campaign.  The question that has us
stumped right now is: When were campaign placards first used in presidential
campaigns? OR did this sign connected to a stick originate in some other
aspect of society?  Any help with an answer or where to look for an answer
would be appreciated.  TIA
