and might turn to him, Wheeler
wrote. although Bryan said he would
not seek the nomination, but, on
the other hand, was working for his
brother Charles, then Governor of
Nebraska.
IF l should be nominated I would
be elected" Wheeler quoted Bryan as
sa wing to him confdentiaIly Il
first campaign speech. 1t would be
in New York and to an audience Of
millionaires. No one would be ad-
mitted who could not vouch for the
possession of at least one million.
1T was the great moneyed class
that defeated me for President in my
three campaigns, but they would not
be 50 solidly opposed TO me in another
campaign. l am a man of consider
able means. While not in the mil
lionaire class I have large fortune.
as the average man views such
ma tiers.
Il am not opposed to these men
accommodating large fortunes. 1 am
for the full protection Of property
rights and worldly goods rightfully
accumulated"
