William Jennings Bryan, as a moose, rubs his antlers labeled “Government Ownership” and “Initiative and Referendum” against a tree labeled “Party Opposition” to knock them off, so that new antlers can grow. On the ground are antlers from previous years labeled “Imperialism shed in 1904” and “Free Silver shed in 1900.” Five heavily-bearded owls are perched on branches of the tree.
