An ice pitcher features Alton B. Parker’s face while a coffee pot features President Roosevelt’s face. “The working man” is seated and has a coffee cup and glass in front of him. Caption: “I thank Mr. Bryan for his suggestion of the water pitcher. It puts the party difference in their proper contrast—the Republican party and coffee pot; the opposition and the freezing water pitcher, and let the voter take his choice.”—Senator Beveridge at Evansville.
