William Jennings Bryan carries a banner that states “16 to 1 will help you,” and Adlai E. Stevenson carries a banner that states “I ran with Cleveland, vote for me.” They stand in front of a gigantic farmer who has swelled to enormous proportions on profits from wheat, cotton, and other farm produce.
Comments and Context
In 1896, with a devastating depression in recent memory, the Presidential campaign arguments of Democrats and Populists were largely economic. However, they lost in large numbers to the Republican Party. Again the nominee, William Jennings Bryan found his old message irrelevant in the face of the McKinley prosperity. Cleveland’s second Vice President, Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, was put on Bryan’s 1900 ticket, in hopes of appealing to more conservative Democrats.
