Item Description
2x9". According to reporting by the Edgar Post (NE), over 3,000 were in attendance at the rally, where several Rough Riders also participated in the day's festivities. Roosevelt spoke to the crowd, saying, "You are prosperous now...you have had prosperity, and I ask, do you want to keep it? You cannot vote for free silver and free trade and expect prosperity, because there is no affinity between these conditions." He went on to compare Bryan's monetary policy to quack medicine. Roosevelt's tour through Nebraska may have contributed to a narrow victory over Bryan in his home state and a sound victory in the Electoral College. Ribbon has slight fading of the black lettering and about a dozen scattered pin holes, most notably at the top center. Otherwise some scattered creasing and moderate wear and handling. Extremely Fine. A scarce single-day event item. Larry Brokofsky Collection.
