Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
This Harper’s Weekly cartoon predicts that most workingmen will not follow the lead of American Federation of Labor president Samuel Gompers, ridiculed as a dwarf, and vote for Democrat William Jennings Bryan, whose economic policy would upset the full-dinner pail of prosperity. Instead, the inference is that “the real workingman” will vote for Republican William Howard Taft. |
