Place yourself in the role of a white family farmer in the South in 1896. For which candidate will you vote for president: William McKinley (Republican), or William Jennings Bryan (Democrat)? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
The farmer would probably vote for William Jennings Bryan, the advocate of "free silver." Bryan identifies with the rural South and West and is champion of those who have gained fewer rewards from industrialization. The farmer may be torn between voting as a Democrat or a Populist since Bryan is the presidential candidate of both parties.
