William H. Taft stands at the door of the “Presidency” holding a paper from Justice Brewer recommending him for the presidency and comparing him to President Roosevelt. Caption: Secretary Taft–“I wonder if Justice Brewer was joking?” On the verso, an article titled “The Great World Traveler Is Here” describes William Jennings Bryan’s arrival in New Jersey and the “oratorical tour” on which he is embarking. Another article, “The Standpatism of the Hon. Joseph Cannon,” lauds the Republican Party’s achievements since the inauguration of William McKinley as president, noting these are to be preferred over Bryan’s intended projects.
