Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

William Jennings Bryan is speaking; appearing clockwise around the table are Alton B. Parker, Charles E. Hughes and William Howard Taft; walking into the room is James M. Cox, whose presidential bid ended just six days before this cartoon was published.
William Howard Taft (1857-1930) was the Republican President from 1913-1917, but he lost re-election to Woodrow Wilson after Theodore Roosevelt split the Republicans by forming the Bull Moose Party in 1916.
Alton Brooks Parker (1852-1926) was the Democratic presidential candidate in 1904. He lost to incumbent Theodore Roosevelt.
William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) is probably best known as the prosecutor of John Scopes in the famous “monkey trials.” He was also the losing presidential candidate for the Democratic Party three times in 1896, 1900, and 1908. He was defeated by Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Howard Taft.
Charles Evans Hughes Sr. (1862-1948) was the Republican candidate for president in 1916. He was defeated by Woodrow Wilson.
James Middleton Cox (1870-1957) was the Democratic candidate for president in 1920. Incidentally, Cox’s running mate was future president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Not to be confused with the Sid Greene who drew for Marvel comics, the editorial cartoonist Sid Greene drew for the New York Evening Telegram and The Evening Post in the 1920s.
