Mr.. eryan's Career.
William ]. Bryan has been SO much
in the public eye for good many
years that sketch of his career
seems almost superfluous. Born in
Salem. ILL.,, in 1850, he was graduated
with highest honors from Illinois col
,ege at Jacksonville in 1881 and re-
ceived his masters degree in 1884.
In 1883 he was given the degree OF
LII. B. by Union College OF Law, Chi
cago. After practicing law in Jack
sonville and Lincoln, Neb., he served
as a member of Fifty-second and
Fifty-third Congresses. Having writ
ten the silver plank" for the Demo
cratic national convention of 1896 and
made sensational speech, he was
nominated for President, but was de-
feated by William Mckinley. Nomi-
mated again in 1900, he was again
beaten by Mckinley, and then estab-
lished the Commoner and made a tour
OF the world. Nominated third time
in 1908,. he was defeated by w. H.
Taft.
McAdoo, the Tunnel Builder.
William Gibbs McAdoo, though a
lawyer by profession, is known to
most people as the builder of the
great system of railway tunnels of
New York city. He was born near
Marietta, Ca, in 1863 and was edu-
Gated at the University of Tennessee.
In 1886 he was admitted to the bar,
and the same year he married Sarah

altered the practice of law in New
York in 1892, and since 1901 has been
interested chiefly in tunnel construc-
tion there. He is president. of the
Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Com
pany.
LIndley M. Garrison.
The selection of Lindley M. Garri-
son, vice-chancellor of New Jersey, to
be secretary of war is in line with
President Wilson's idea that the hold
er of that position should be a man
of unusual executive ability. He is
close friend of Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Gar
rison was born in Camden, N. J., No
vember 20, 1864. He is son Of Rev.
Joseph F. Garrison, an Episcopal cler-
gyman, and a brother of Justice
Charles G. Garrison Of the New Jer-
sey Supreme Court. He was appoint
ed to the chancery court III June, 1904,
and reappointed by Chancellor Nah
lon. Pitney, now Justice of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court, in 1911, for
term Of seven years.
James c. MeReynoIds.
In picking James Clark McReynolds
for the position Of attorney general,
Mr.. Wilson selected man who has
had lot of experience as a trust

KY, where he was born in 1852. and
a graduate of Vanderbilt university
and the law school of the University
of Virginia. From 1908 to 1907 he,
