December 9, 1903: A Historic Ride to the White House - Keb, Lady? This intriguing illustration captures a pivotal moment in American political history. The elderly woman labeled "Democracy" stands steadfastly next to a trunk marked "Old Issues," preparing to embark on a journey to the White House. Surrounding her are a group of eager cab drivers, each vying for her fare. Among them are Parker, Olney, Johnson, Shepard, Gorman, and Watterson, all labeled with their respective names and cab numbers. The drivers' expressions vary, from determined to hopeful, as they await Democracy's decision. Two cabbies, Cleveland and Bryan, are seated on their carriages, watching the scene unfold. Cleveland, labeled as the Democratic Party's nominee in the 1884 and 1892 elections, appears disinterested, perhaps having given up on securing Democracy's business. However, Bryan, the Democratic nominee in the 1896 and 1900 elections, labeled on his cab as "16 to 1," is not deterred. With a confident expression and a raised hat, he calls out above the others, determined to earn Democracy's trust and secure her ride to the White House. This illustration, titled "Keb, Lady?" is a fascinating snapshot of American political history, showcasing the intense competition and determination that often accompany the selection of a presidential candidate. The image, dated December 9, 1903, is a captivating reminder of the past and the enduring spirit of American democracy.
