The “logical” candidate and his logic

Subject(s): Big business, Bryan, William Jennings, 1860-1925, Presidents--Election

William Jennings Bryan stands in front of a tree labeled “Business,” looking up at three men, labeled “Manufacturing Trust,” “Labor Trust,” and “Farmer Trust,” on a limb labeled “Combination” that they are cutting off with a saw labeled “Agitation.” The “Manufacturing Trust” is furthest out on the limb, but both the “Labor Trust” and the “Farmer Trust” are also on the side of the limb being cut off. Caption: Bryan–Hurry up with the saw and give that fellow a fall!
