In the death Of William Jen-
nings Bryan, the nation loses an
other great statesman, and an
other name is added to the long
list of notables answering the roll
call of death during the past few
years.
First it was Harding two years
ago next month, followed six
months later by Wilson, and a few
months afterwards by Senator
Lodge. A couple months ago For
mer Vice-President Marshall pass
ed away. Only a short time ago
Champ Clark and others promi-
nent in the nations history and
men who served during Bryan's
time answered the summons which
we all must face.
Bryan outlived many of the
statesmen who first sprang into
fame back in the 90's. Up until
his death he was very active.
Like all big men, Bryan had his
friends and enemies, but there are
none who do not admire him for
fighting at all times for what he
thought was right.
AS "The Boy Orator of the
Platte he first sprang into fame
during the campaign of 1896 when
an address he made at the Demo.
cratic convention resulted in him
being chosen as the Democratic
candidate for president. In 1900
he again opposed Mckinley for
president, and in 1908 was once
more the Democratic standard
bearer.
At all Democratic national con-
'entions. from 1896 up to and in
eluding that of last year, he was
real power and practically had
his way at every convention. It
was Bryan who put Woodrow Will
son in the running at Baltimore in
1912, his efforts that year result
ing in Wilson landing the nomi-
nation.
One of Mr.. Bryan's last appear
ances in Arizona was when he ad-
dressed the state Democratic con-
vention at Tucson in 1922.
The nation will remember Will
liam Jennings Bryan as not only
three times a candidate for presi-
dent, and a former secretary of
state, but also one of its greatest
orators.

DAYTON, Tenn, July &c.
William j. Bryan, for thirty years
a dominant figure in American
politics, three times the Democra-
tic candidate. fir president. lies
dead in the field Of his last great
battle.
The great commoner, exhausted
from his vigorous fight for funda-
mentalism during the trial of John
I. Scopes, was found dead of
apoplexy on his bed Sunday after
noon at the home of Richard
Rogers. Bryan had been living
there since he came here for the
evolution trial. He died alone, but
within sight of his wife, who be-
lieved he was sleeping peacefully
as she sat on the outside of the
house.
Bryan had fought desperately in
every battle he ever waged, what
ever it's decision, but the last mo-
ments Of his fight with death re-
main hidden from the world.
A physician said hemorrhage Of
the brain attacked the great poll
teal leader.
Bryan's body was discovered,
prone on the bed of his room, when
James McCardy, his chauffeur,
went to awaken him shortly after
four o'clock. A call to Mr.. Bryan
brought no response.
Sunday morning Bryan ad-
