This cartoon of William Jennings Byran shows:
- Disrespect for Bryan's argument that farmers are businessmen
- That the cartoonist thinks that Bryan's platform will appeal only to farmers
William Jennings Byran was a 3 time Democratic candidate for President from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. His proposed policies drew a lot of support from farmers and common people.
Mr. Bryan argued that farmers were businessmen who were capable of making informed decisions. This cartoon comes against that by:
- Showing farmers climbing electric/ telegraph poles which is not safe
- Showing them absorbing messages from Bryan that are painted as ineffective
The cartoon also shows that only farmers are excited by Mr. Bryan's proposals.
In conclusion, the cartoon aims to mock William Jennings Bryan for his support base of farmers.
