description Suds bucket and mop from the gubernatorial campaign of James "Big Jim" Folsom, Sr., in 1946. The props were symbolic of Folsom's populist message and promise to clean up state government. He passed the bucket for donations while a country band, the Strawberry Pickers, entertained crowds. Folsom offered a relatively progressive stance on civil rights and favored the elimination of the poll tax; fair apportionment of legislative seats; and women's service on juries. He also championed the paving of farm-to-market roads to benefit Alabama farmers.
