Joseph Ritner (1780-1869), a veteran of the War of 1812, joined the Anti-Masonic movement, considered America's first third party, in the late 1820s. This Anti-Masonic broadside, issued by New York supporters, enthusiastically discloses favorable reports about Ritner's returns in the 1832 Pennsylvania gubernatorial election.
Despite the numbers printed here, Ritner would lose to Democratic incumbent George Wolf, and President Andrew Jackson would win re-election. This was Ritner's second attempt at the governorship, he was, however, successful in 1835 and became Pennsylvania's 8th governor.
