Debate '08: Taft and Bryan Campaign on the Edison Phonograph
 A new animal disrupted the political circus in 1908 when the phonograph carried the voices of presidential candidates directly to the people. Debate '08 marks the centennial of this historic premiere with the first reissue of all 22 Edison wax cylinders recorded by the Democratic candidate, William Jennings Bryan, and the Republican candidate, William Howard Taft. On these recordings, the candidates discussed the most important issues of the day: imperialism, foreign intervention, and the collapse of the financial industry.
With a full-color 80-page wide-format booklet with transcripts of the speeches and original research, Debate '08 is our most exquisite production to date. Look inside the booklet, listen to excerpts of the speeches, and learn more about Debate '08 »
