Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description: The Republican elephant and Democratic donkey stand to the left, wearing suits and holding papers. They watch Thomas ride past on a goose, representing the Socialist Party, and wish that they could have such a quick start. The elephant tells the spirit of William Bryan that Thomas has now run for President more times than Bryan did, breaking his record.
Bryan, William Jennings, 1860-1925; Thomas, Norman, 1884-1968; Krueger, Maynard C., 1906-1991
