“Why Not Introduce a Little Novelty Into the Campaign?”
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
In 1896, Democrat William Jennings Bryan became the first major-party presidential nominee in American history to commit most of the post-convention campaign to a national speaking tour. He did the same in 1900, and was preparing to embark on his third energetic national campaign when this Puck cartoon was published in August 1908. Republican William Howard Taft, however, was planning to conduct a traditional, restrained “front porch” campaign, whereby groups of supporters were transported to the candidate’s home to hear him speak. |
