w. }. BRYAN DIES SUDDENLY
WHILE TAKING sIEsTA NAP

Dayton, Tenn.-WilIIam Jeaning:
Bryan was discovered dead In bed here
Sunday afternoon July 20. He had
retired to his room in the early after.
uoon for nap and was found dead al
4:30 O'Clock.
Virtually dominant in the Democrat
&c party for nearly 46 years, William
J. Bryan was three times nominated
and defeated for the presidency. Then.
like Elijah of old, he cast his mantle
upon the Elisha OF Princeton and ex-
erted potent influence In bringing
about Woodrow Wilson'S first nominal
ton for the office to which he, himself
had yainly asplred.
Known In his youth as ''the silver
tongued boy orator OF the Platte" II
was Mr.. Bryan's eloQuenee in his IA
NOUS "cross OF golds speech at the
Democratic national convention in Chi
cag0 In 1880 that made him the choice
OF his party. He poIled more than
0,5O0O00 votes In HIS first campaign.
His career has been likened to that
OF Henry Clay, who also was three
times nominated for the presidency
and as many times defeated. Clay,
too, became a secretary of state The
friends Of Bryan insisted that. like
Clay, he was too conscientious, con-
sistent and serupulous for a politician
and that the famous Wings deelar-
Atlon Il would rather be right than be
president" well described the man
from Nebraska.
The former secretary OF state was
born in Salem, H. March 10, 1880.
His father was Silas Lillard Bryan. a
native OF Virginia, lawyer and judge.
The son, after graduating from Illinois
college in 1881 and Union College OF
Law, Chicago, in 1888, entered the law
office Of Lyman Trumbuii, former
United States senator. Subsequently
he removed to Jacksonville. IT., where
he practiced law until 1887 when he
settled in LiAcoln, Neb.
During the presidential campaign Of
1888, young Bryan's speeches In behalf |
of the democratic ticket attracted at
tention and in 1890 he accepted NOM
ination for congress IN the First Ne
braska district, Republican strong
hold, because. no one else would have
It. 81 he said, since Il was believed no I
Democrat could win. He was elected |
and served from 1891 until 1895. he
was made a member Of the important
ways and means committee In his first
term.
The first nomination of Mr. Bryan
for the presidency at the Democratic
national convention in Chicago on July
10, 1896, has since been characterized
as one OF the miracles" Of American
politics. The nominee, after serving
in congress. had run for the United
States senate and been defeated by
Senator John M Thurston OF Nebras-
ka Abandoning the law, Mr.. Bryan
became editor Of the Omaha World
Herald and champloned the cause Of
blrnetalIIsm as vigorously with the pen
as he had upon the forum. He had
been beaten for a third term in con-
sress on the issue OF sound money"
and when the time came for the ma
3lonal convention this question was
rending both big political parties.
There were free silver Republicans as
veal as Democrats. bat the nominee Of
che former. Henry M. Teller of Colo
sadDs threw his support TO Bryan.
