There were two kinds of caps in Twin Stacks on the counter of Maul's General Merchandise Store, shining on a level with my eyes. One kind was decorated with gold braid and leaves, and this was McKinley cap for Republican boys. One bore decorations of silver, and this cap was for the boys who stood for William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska. Never since. never in all my days and nights, have I dreamed of anything with such hunger as I dreamed then, in an Iowa town, of the Bryan Silver Cap.
