The Old Way and the New is a 1912 silent film, produced by the Democratic National Committee for the presidential campaign of Woodrow Wilson. It is likely the first filmed campaign ad in the history of the United States.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The film starts by showing "the old way," in which a Corrupt Corporate Executive (with pictures of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft on his wall, by the way) refuses to spend a dime on the exploited workers in his own mills but happily doles out a million dollars to "swing 100,000 votes." This is contrasted with "the new way," in which you, the viewer, are encouraged to contribute "one honest dollar" to the Wilson campaign.The film was scripted by cartoonist and illustrator Charles R. Macauley. | |

Stock Money Bag | |
| The Old Way and the New / int_97293a99 | comment |
Stock Money Bag: The villain's money is literally shoveled into one of these, which is helpfully labeled, "The Dough Bag." Can you tell this was written by a political cartoonist? | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive: One of these is presented as the villain, with the ad claiming that Roosevelt and Taft are the pawns of such people. | |

Scare Campaign | |
| The Old Way and the New / int_d207556f | comment |
Scare Campaign: Most of the ad is dedicated to attacking Roosevelt, Taft, and their presumed financial backers. Little reason is given for why you should support Wilson other than the fact that he's not them. | |
