1t appears on the records of the con-
vention that Sewau received the

president could not receive the
united support of the delegates from
his own state

i Ut GeiHocFht!C national convention
has nominated for president, William
Jennings Bryan, OF Nebraska. and for
vice president, Arthur Sewal. OF Bath,
Maine
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
was born at Salem, H., March 10. 1860. He
graduated from Illinois college, Jackson
vile, in 1881. He studied law for two
years, and then began practice in Jack
sonville. In 1887 he moved to Lincoln.
Neb., and became member OF the law
firm OF Talbot x Bryan. Soon afterward
he entered politics.
In 1890, on local issue, he was elected
to Congress where he received the sobri-
quet ''the boy orator OF the Platte, but
his speeches were tinged with populism
which did not meet with approval. Bry-
an was reelected for second term by a
very small majority. During his second
term he became the open cham pion OF free
coinage. He was on the ways and means
committee, and is said to have been the
first to suggest the income tax clause in
the Wilson tariff bill.
Mr.. Bryan, fearing defeat, did not stand
for third term. He began the publica-
ton of the Omaha World Herald. free
silver organ.
ARTHUR sEwALL
was born at Bath, Maine, Nov. 25, 1885
and was the third son of the late William
d. Sewall. He was educated in the public
schools of Bath, and, after an appren-
ticeship under his father, formed, in 1854
with his brother Edward, the firm Of f.
and A. Sewall, ship-builders and commits
sion agents. The SewalIs have been
closely identified with Baths chief in
dustry, ship building, since 1923. In 1879
Arthur Sewall, his son, William d. Sewall,
and his nephew, Samuel S. Sewall, formed
the present firm of Arthur Sewall & Co.
Mr.. Sewall was for many years promi-
nent as railroad man. He became di-
rector of the Maine Central railroad COM
pany in 1875, and in 1884 was elected its
president, serving in that capacity sever
al years. During this time Mr.. SewalI
was also president of the Portland, Mount
Desert and Machias steamboat company:
director in the Eastern railroad in 1883
and 1884; director of the Boston and
Maine railroad in 1893 and 1891: director
OF the New York and New England rail
road and director of the Portland and
Rochester railroad. He has been presi-
dent OF the Bath national bank since 1871.

crat. He served as Maine member OF the

The nomination of Mr.. Sewall did
not strengthen the populist- demo-
cratic ticket. Even in Washington,
where nearly everybody has a sort of

are at all prominent in politics, every
body was asking, when the news of
Sewallis nomination was received:
who is Sewall 90 And in all Wash
ington, no picture of him could be
