rotary to William ]. Bryan.
Secretary Bryan picked Mr.. Wyvell
on the ground, primarily. OF his per
sonal fidelity. Mr.. Wyvell Is a Bryan
devotee. Nearly 10 years ago. when
Mr.. Bryan was making his second
campaign for the presidency, he dis
covered Mr.. Wyvell. then a student at
Cornell, and president of the Cornell
Bryan club, an organization of vast
activity and limited membership.
Now, Cornell is one of the most pro-
life of the American universities in
the production of Republican gradu-
ates. The principles enunciated from
the chair long held by Andrew d.
White, were distinctly anti-bryan. and
1t occurred to the anti-imperialist lead
er of 1900 that man who could de-
velop Organism In the atmosphere OF
Ithaca, must have the real spirit.
There and then he picked upon wy
veil as his disciple. and such Wy
veil has remained until on March 6 he
reaped his reward by being called to
serve his leader in the confidential ca
pacity of private secretary.
Mr.. Wyvell is still young, hardly
thirty-five, but he has been in politics
ever since he left college. Last fall
