William Jennings Bryan as a soda jerk stands behind a counter offering a cup of “Boy Oratory” or “Bryan’s Free Silver Soda” to a farmer holding a “Vote” in his hand. A sign on the wall behind Bryan states, “Flavors. Anarchy, Repudiation, ‘Cross and Grown,’ Populism, [and] 16 to 1.” Caption: It won’t go down with the American farmer, as the Vermont and Maine elections show.
