President Roosevelt shakes hands with William Jennings Bryan, who stands beside a shabbily-dressed “Democratic” woman wearing attire labeled “Bryan’s coat.” Roosevelt holds a number of new, fancier, pieces of clothing, including a “federal license for corporations” dress, “Democratic principles” and “fixed rates” ribbons, “Sherman Law” shoes, and “anti trust law” and “anti rebate law” stockings.
