Bryan Campaigns and Railcar Rhetoric in 1908
In 1908, a Cleveland PLAIN Dealer piece uses comic verse to contrast Bryan's Monday and Saturday statements. It lampoons his slogan driven rhetoric while linking labor support, Republican policies, and the opposing platform. The piece mocks vagueness, notes the unemployed seeking jobs, and rails against Bryan's perceived political tactics.
