HE has spoken face to face beyond

any other man in the worlds history
says one who travelled with william

Dental campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
and there is no doubt as to the truth
of the statement
The purpose of this article is briefly
to sketch the life of Mr.. Bryan up to
the age of thirty-six, when he was
nominated by the Democratic party
for the presidency of the United
States. 1t is life possible only to
American politics, and, whether or
not Mr.. Bryan shall reach the presi-
dency, it is an interesting chapter in
United States political history.
The town of Salem. Ill, is the birth
place of Bryan. Judge Silas L. Bryan,
substantial, intellectual settler from
Virginia, was his father. Maria Eliza
beth Jennings was his mothers maid
en- name. The child was born March
49, 1860. Judge Bryan lived on a
farm near the edge of town. He had
nine children, of whom William Jen-
nings is the fourth. The boy grew up
outdoors. drinking the daily medicine
of sunshine and the open air. His
physical constitution, a marvel of ro-
business and energy, came by inherit
ance and was nurtured by wholesome
and healthful environment in boy
hood. Bryan attended the public
schools in Salem until he was fifteen,
when he entered Whipple academy at
Jacksonville, Ill Two years later he
matriculated in Illinois college, in the
same city. from which institution he
was graduated with honors at the age
of twenty-one. During his college
course his oratorical liabilities made
him prominent in middle western col
legiate life. He won the honor of rep
resenting his school in the state con-
test of college orators. He won that
contest and represented Illinois in
1881 at the interstate eratoricaI con-
test, held at Galesburg, ILL.,, where he
achieved second honors. He was class
orator at 'graduations az

mother on the Bryan farm near Lin

head of the family SONG years ago
built handsome residence. Prior
to that the family had occupied a
modest cottage in Lincoln. where Mr..
Bryan returned to his law practice
after his unsuccessful campaign for
the senatorship.
When in 1895 the Republican con-
vention which nominated Mckinley
for president met in ST. Louis. William
J. Bryan held no Office whatever. He
still had a connection with the Omaha
paper, and he went to st. Louis as a
press correspondent. At the Planters
hotel the clerk looked over the plainly
CARRIED young man who signed wv. j.
Bryan" on the register and made him
pay in advance. The clerk put Bryan
in a room with seven Republicans.
Under date of June 16 a correspond
ent of the New York Tribune sent to
his paper from st. Louis this highly
interesting paragraph:
"ExCongressman William ]. Bryan,
the leader of the free silver wing of
the Nebraska Democracy. was one of
yesterdays arrivals. The appear
ance of Mr.. Bryan in a hotel corridor
in consultation with several Repub-
licans from free silver states of the
far west excited much comment. In
response to a question concerning his
mission Mr.. Bryan remarked, L have
nothing to say now except that these
gentlemen and / will be found next

Senator Henry NJ. Teller of Colo
RADIO and others were the free silver
Republican leaders indicated by the
Tribune correspondent. 1t was an ac-
curate prediction by Mr.. Bryan that
they would be voting the same ticket
with him in November, for they
walked out of the Republican national
convention when the gold standard
platform was adopted and aligned
themselves with the free silver De-
mocracy.
But neither the New York corre-
spondent nor the free silver seceders
nor the Nebraska correspondent and
free silver leader himself could fore
tell that the seceders would vote for
William Jennings Bryan as the presi-
Dental candidate on the ticket which
was to be nominated at Chicago a few
weeks later.

was defeated in November inexpressi-
sbly worse than was Bryan in either of
his campaigns.
: The discovery of vast deposits of
gold in Alaska and elsewhere since the
free silver campaigns has eliminated
the money issue from politics. Mr.
Bryan has accepted this fact and now
stands upon other Democratic issues.
Despite all opposition. he has domi-
mated the national Democracy for
twelve years. For several years past
he has given expression to his views
in the weekly journal, the Commoner,
which he established at Lincoln. He
has removed to a fine farm near Lin

world as the great American COM

Clay. He has Travelled around the
world and written his impressions for
a syndicate of American newspapers.
He has been for years the most popu-
lar and highest paid lecturer on the
American lyceum and Chautauqua
circuits. II is said that his income
from lecturing alone is as much as
$4,000 a year the presidents salary.

himself to the uncurbed enthusiasm

the vice presidential candidate on that

Mr.. Bryan was renominated by accla-

declared in the platform. however.
that Imperialism was the paramount
issue of the campaign. The Democ-
racy opposed the forcible subjugation
of the Filipinos and the control of the
archipelago in the colonial style OF
the British empire.
Mr.. Bryan made another whirlwind
campaign. even breaking his own
record for travelling and speechmak-
ing. He was forty years of age and in
the full flush of magnificent manhood.
During tic four years since 1895 he
had done much political speaking and
writing. he had lectured many times
on other topics, he had Travelled
abroad and studied other governments
and conditions of people; also he had
become Colonel Bryan, having gone to
camp during the Spanish war as d
colonel of a Nebraska regiment.

office of Judge Lyman Trumbull, the
celebrated associate of Abraham Lin

gin the practice of his profession.
Bryan and Miss Baird were married
shortly after his return Mrs. Bryan
studied law in order to assist her hus-
band in his professional work. After
the Bryans removed to Lincoln, Neb..
in. 1887 Mrs. Bryan was admitted to
the bar. Mr.. Bryan became Junior
partner in the law firm of Talbot &
Bryan He believed there was more
opportunity for rising young lawyer
in a new state-a belief assuredly well
grounded in his own case.
Bryan plunged into politics in the
spring of 1883. and that became his
life vocation instead of the law. He
was elected a delegate to the Demo-
cratic state convention at Omaha,
where he made a speech strongly adj
vocating free trade; also he made a
reputation as a speaker He was only
twenty-eight years old, yet the very
next year the party leaders offered
him the nomination for the lieuten-
ant governorship of Nebraska. He
declined the offer, but made a stump
ing campaign for the ticket through
out the state.
The next year. 1890. the young De-
mocracy thrust upon the young De-
mosthenes from Illinois the nomina-
ton for congressman from the First
district ]. Sterling Morton, who in
his time was father of Arbor day and
a member of President Cleveland's
cabinet, had been defeated in the race
for congress from that district in 1883
by Republican majority of more
than 5000 votes. Scarcely anybody
expected young Bryan TO win He was
not so very sanguine himself, but he
made an oratorical campaign and de-
feated Congressman Connell by nearly
1000 votes In Omaha, where Con-
nell lived, Bryan was sneered at as
that Lincoln boy IT was the reac-
ton against the new Mckinley tariff
that elected Bryan--that and the
silver tongue of the Lincolnian lad.
So at thirty Bryan was chosen to
the national house of representatives.

MR. BRYAN IN THE 1900 CAMPAIGN

Again the great east dashed and
smashed the western candidate with
demoniac denunciation, though that
time there was very large increase
in personal respect for Mr.. Bryan. He
had proved himself to be by no means
the wild visionary. the anarchistic
revolutionist. the dangerous fanatic,
which the opposition in his own party
had pictured him as being in 1896,

lucky as the standard bearers, thus
contributing to Bryan's defeat in the
first campaign. In the cam
paign of 1900 the Democratic
seceders simply voted the Mckinley
and Roosevelt Republican ticket. A
second time Bryan went down to de-
feat, but gracefully and with good
cheer.

election day, ate an early dinner went

When the Democratic national con-

the delegates from Nebraska was VIII
liam Jennings Bryan. a young man of
thirty-six a private citizen of the city
of Lincoln. His prior political career
comprised two terms in congress. He
had been his party nominee for a
United states senatorship in Repub-
lican Legislature.
The national Democracy had broken
away from Grover Cleveland, whom 1t
had elected president twice and who
was then in office. The split was on
the money question. Cleveland had
called a special session of congress to
repeal the silver bullion purchasing
act. The mass of the party stood for
the free coinage of silver. chiefly at
the ratio of Is to 1. The Cleveland
wing stood for the single gold stand

the old war horse of the free silver
coinage movement was the logical
and apparently the inevitable candi-
date for the presidency. His nomina-
ton seemed TO be a certainty until a
thing happened hitherto unprecedent-
ed in American politics.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-07-09

In the interim the Nebraska dis
tricts had been reapportioned so that
Omaha was eliminated from the First
district The district in it's new shape
was conceded to be Republican by
about $500. Judge Allen w. Field of
Lincoln, one of the oldest and most
popular Republicans in the state, was
nominated to run against Bryan. He
resigned from the bench, SO sanguine
of success was he, but Bryan beat him
by lao votes.
When President Cleveland called an
extra session of congress in the sum-
mer of 1893 to push through the re-
peal of the Sherman silver bullion
purchasing act of 1890, the Demo-
cratic president of the old school I'M

When Bryan ceased speaking he was
picked up by enemies and friends
alike and borne around the hall on
the shoulders of enthusiasts who liked
a ripping fine Grafton when they heard
it regardless as to whether it suited
their politics. Nobody disputed that
it was the greatest speech of the ex-
ira session.
Bryan declined a denomination for
congress in 1884 and became editor of
the Omaha World Herald. He want

many of them disagreed with him on
the silver coinage issue With John
M. Thurston, the leading Republican
candidate for the senate, Bryan en-
gagged in two joint debates, having
challenged Thurston. The forensic
duels took place in Lincoln and
Omaha. The tariff was the sole topic
of discussion Bryan defended the
Wilson tariff. which as a member of
the ways and means committee he
had helped to create. At Lincoln the
enthusiasm was such that Bryan was
carried from the platform outside and
down into the street, where bowling
mobs of Overflow admirers awaited
him. Thurston was elected by the
legislature. Mr.. Bryan remained a
private citizen He had challenged
William Mckinley also to a joint de-
bate on the tariff, but the Ohio tariff
builder declined. Mr.. Mckinley was
destined to meet the Nebraskan in a
broader contest little later
