William Jennings Bryan was the democratic candidate in the 1896 presidential election. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch pushed heavily in his favor throughout the campaign. This picture, showing Bryan and his “supremacy among men” was published 8 days before his defeat, losing to William McKinley on November 3rd. He ran again in 1900 and 1908, losing both times but staying in the political spotlight until his death in 1925, including as Secretary of State from 1913 - 1915.
