William Jennings Bryan sweats as he looks at three checkers and points at the one labeled African American vote. Two others are labeled “Brownsville Texas Affair” and “Solid South.” President Roosevelt and William H. Taft look on. Taft says, “It’s your move Mr. Bryan!” On the wall of the house is a sign: “What is home without a Papa?”
