Why not introduce a little novelty into the campaign?

William Jennings Bryan and William H. Taft debate from the rear of a railroad car while whistle-stop campaigning. Vignettes show them working shifts shaking hands, kissing babies, “Awarding Prizes at County Fairs,” exercising by tossing a medicine ball labeled “My Policies,” associating themselves with Theodore Roosevelt, and showing “Affection for the Filipino.”

A dejected, well-dressed man labeled “The Corporation” sits next to an ice bucket filled with bottles labeled “Wall St. Brand, Privilege Brut, Immunity Fizz, [and] Stand Pat Sec,” while in the background William Jennings Bryan and William H. Taft are holding bottles of “Publicity Lithia.” The “Corporation” man misses those days when Mark Hanna was a driving force in presidential campaigns. Caption: The Wine Agent — Gee! When Mark was alive I opened a case a minute.
