What you’re looking at

This political cartoon, titled "Bryan's Occupation — They Have No Use For Him," depicts William Jennings Bryan in a vehicle labeled "Workingmen Somers" alongside other figures. The satire appears to target Bryan's political relevance or employment prospects, suggesting he has become obsolete or unwanted. The cartoon likely dates to the early 1900s, following one of Bryan's unsuccessful presidential campaigns (he ran in 1896, 1900, and 1908). The "workingmen" reference suggests criticism of Bryan's populist appeal to labor voters, while the title's claim that "they have no use for him" mocks his diminished political standing or effectiveness among his supposed base of support.
