As a girl Miss Baird enjoyed good
educational advantages. Her education
was begun in the public schools, after
which she attended Monticello semi.
nary at Godfrey. H., one year, and the
Presbyterian academy at jacksonville.
ILL.,. two years, graduating from the
latter institution with first honors In
June. 1881. She returned the next
year for postgraduate work. II was
while at college that she met Mr..
Bryan. and the happy romance OF her
life was begun. He was at that time
attending the Illinois college Their
betrothal was made while they were
both juniors. their marriage following
four years later. In 1884. They resided
In Jacksonville until their removal TO
Nebraska three years later.
Becomes Practical Partner.
In order TO keep herself In closer
touch with his professional life, Mrs.
Bryan read law with her husband as
instructor, taking the course pre-
scribed by the Union College OF Law
of Chicago She was admitted 10
practice In the supreme court OF Ne
braska In November. 1883, not having
the intention OF practicing as a means
of livelihood. but that her knowledge
of the profession might be OF greater
value In the constant and careful as.
sistance she rendered Mr.. Bryan In
HIS work.
Mrs. Bryan is also fond OF literature
and the languages She devoted one
year TO the special study OF literature
In the Illinois college. and during more
recent years has taken postgraduate
course OF one year In German at the
Nebraska State university. She says
that every mother necessarily keeps

After Mr.. Bryan's defeat at the polls
he continued 10 advocate the free coin

Colonel In Spanish American War.
On the outbreak of the Spanish
American war he was offered and ac-
cepted the colonelcy OF the Third
Nebraska volunteers, and was for some
time with his regiment at Tampa. Fla.
but did not take any active part In
the struggle. On his return to Nebras-
ka Mr.. Bryan again entered into
the field OF political activity, and
spoke against the scheme of colonial
expansion introduced by the Mckinley
administration on the cession OF the
Philippine islands by Spain.
In 1900 he was again nominated for
the presidency by Democratic. Popu.
list and silver Republican conventions
but was once more defeated, recely.

with John M. Thurston.
Out Of congress Mr.. Bryan gave
most OF his time to the public discus
sion OF national and state politics. His
many speeches In favor of the free
coinage of silver increased his repu-
tation until he came to be recognized
as the leader OF the Democracy In
Nebraska.
Nominated for Presidency.
In July. 1896, he was a delegate
from Nebraska TO the national conven-
tion OF the Democratic party at Chi
cago. His fervid speech on that oc-
casion in behalf of free silver took
the delegates by storm and led To his
nomination for the presidency.
Although the platform on which he
stood excited much opposition from
many sources. Mr.. Bryan claimed that
II represented his convictions. and an
nounced his readiness to defend every
plank. Immediately after his nomina.
tion he began one OF the most yigor-
Gus and memorable campaigns ever
carried on by a candidate for the
presidency. II is estimated that dur
ing his canvass he travelled over 49,
900 miles.
Two months before the nomination
Mr.. Bryan is reported to have said,
In an interview which he wished not
TO be published at that time: II
think | shall be the next president
Of the United States. l am confident
that l shall be nominated In Chicago,
and II nominated / am sure l shall be
elected. think Mckinley will be
the Republican nominee. and he can
be beaten. II is a matter l have
never said much about. but I believe
