It is a noise-maker like you’d use on Halloween, during a wedding night chivaree, or as stated in a Weis Binder Company advertisement in 1905: “The "Rooter", a noise-maker which looks like and "ooga" horn with a hand crank. Beats the band. You turn the crank and the ‘Rooter’ does the rest. More noise than a brass band. Root for the home team and your favorite candidate."
