The Bower Family Band petitions the Democratic National Committee to
sing a Grover Cleveland rally song at the 1888 convention, but decide
instead to move to the Dakota territory on the urging of a suitor to
their eldest daughter. There, Gr
ampa Bower causes trouble with his pro-Cleveland ideas, as Dakota
residents are overwhelmingly Republican, and hope to get the territory
admitted as two states (North and South Dakota) rather than one in
order to send four Republican senators to Washington. Cleveland
opposed this plan, refusing to refer to Congress the plan to organize
the Dakotas this way. When Cleveland wins the popular vote, but
Harrison the presidency due to the electoral college votes, the
Dakotans (particularly the feuding young couple) resolve to live
together in peace, and Cleveland grants statehood to the two Dakotas
before he leaves office (along with two Democrat-voting states,
evening the gains for both parties).
