| Description | Cartoon shows Democratic leader William Jennings Bryan in the desert astride a camel whose head and body form a large glass water bottle. The camel, known as "The Ship of the Desert" because of its ability to go for long periods without water, was erroneously thought to store vast quantities of water in its hump. Bryan, the perennial Democratic candidate for president between 1896 and 1904, was later widely known as an ardent prohibitionist. |
