Some things Mr. Bryan might do / L.M. Glackens.

description

Summary

Illustration shows a vignette cartoon offering several possibilities for employment for William Jennings Bryan, whom it is supposed will retire from politics after losing yet another presidential election. The main possibility is that the Democratic donkey be donated to Central Park with Bryan as its keeper, offering donkey rides to children. Other options are acting as Bottom in Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream; touring the arctic where he warms the region with the hot air of his oratory; becoming the museum curator of his own "Bryan Musee" dusting such objects as a "Gold Bug", a "Crown of Thorns", a "Cross of Gold", an "Imperial Crown", a "Filipino", an "Octopus", and a "16 to 1" medallion; or to go big-game hunting with Theodore Roosevelt where disputes are likely to arise over who actually bagged the game.
