Bryan was three times nominated and defeated for the presU (Uiha. Then, like Klijah of old, he cast his mantle upon the Klisha of j 1'iiriceton and exerted a potent influ- i ence in bringing about Woodrow WU son's first nomination for the offtcee to which he himself had vainly aspired. Known in his youth as "the silver- ' tongued boy orator of the Platte," it ! was Mr. Bryan's eloquence in his famous ''cross of Ifold" speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1896 that made hiiu the ( choice of his party. He polled more than 0,500,000 voles in his first cam paign. . His career has been likened to that of Henry Clay, who also was thiee times, nominated for 4he pres idency and as many times defeated. Clay, loo, became a Secretary of State. Friends yf Bryan insisted that, like Clay, he was too conscientious, consistent and scrupulous for a poli tician and that the famous whig's declaration," "1 would rather be right thail be president," well described the man from Nebraska. The former Secretary of State was bo: n in Salem, 111., March li), 18(50. His father was Silas .Lilian! Bryan, a native of Culpeper county, Va., a lawyer and judge. The son, aftei graduating from Illinois College in 1881 and Union College of Law, Chi cago, in 1883, entered the law office of Lyman Trumbull former United States senator. Subsequently he re moved to Jacksonville Ill.,s^^en he settled in Lincoln, Neb. During the presidential campaign of 1888 young Bryan's speeches in behalf of the Democratic ticket at tracted attention, and in 1890 he ac cepteti, a nomination for Congress in the First Nebraska District, a Re publican stronghold, "because no one else would have it," he said since it was believed no Democrat cttuld win. He was elected and served from 1891 until 1895. He was made a member of the important ways and means J committee in his first term. Two speeches in this period gave I Mr. Bryan nation-wide prominence: I one against the policy of protection, J delivered on March 16, 1892, and the other against the repeal of the sil ver purchase clause of the Sherman Act oo August 16, 1893. In the lat ter he advocated "the free and unlim ited coinage of silver, irrespective of international agreement, at a ratio I of 16 to 1, a policy with which his I name was afterwards most promi I nently associated until he entered the cabinet of President Wilson. The first nomination of Mr. Bryan for the presidency at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on [ July lOj 1896 has since been charac I terized as one of the "miracles" of J American politics. The nominee, af ter serving in Congress, had run for I the United States Senate and been [defeated by Senator John M. Thurs 1 ton of Nebraska. Abandoning the [law, Mr. Bryan became editor of the Omaha World-Herald and championed the cause of bi-metallism as vigorous I ly with the pen as he had upon the I forum. He had been beaten for a I third term in Congress on the issue [ of "sound money" and when the time [ came for the national convention this I question was rending both big politi Kcal parties. There wero Free Silver 1 Republicans as well as Democi'ats, [ but the nominee of the former, Henry I M.' Teller, of Colorado, threw his sup I port to Bryan when the Nebrafikan I won the nomination at Chicago. The "cross of gold" speech by [ Bryan, which has been quoted oftener, perhaps, than any other of his words, [and which made him a rival of Wil [liarn McKinley for the presidency, | came at the close of a debate on the k{Jooy of the convention in advocacy [of a free silver plank. Men nationally | prominent, in the party had preceded him and opposed the plank unless it I should provide for bi-metallism by international agreement. The situa tion was tense when the NebraskJfn ? then only 36 years old, one year more than the constitutional requirement Vfor a President ? arose to speak. Everybody semed ready for compro mise. Not so the delegate from Ne braska. There was fire in his eye when he began to speak: "I would be presumptuous, indeed, to present myself against the distin guished gentleman to whom you have listened," he said, "if this were a mere measuring of abilities; but this is not a contest betwen persons. The hum blest citizen of all the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to you in defense of 9 cause a* holy as the cause of liberty ? the cause of humanity." Then charging the erila of the day ? the idle mills, the social unrest and 'imiBll liF S&HBdattQE tJ low way? 9 ? to the scarcity Of mongy the ''idle holders of idle capital in Wall Street," he continued: "The individual is but an atom; he is born, he acts, ho dies; but princi ples are eternal, and this has been a contest over a principle. Having be hind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests the laboring interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer those who demand h single gold standard by saying: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify man kind with this cross of gold." The convention was stampeded, for Bryan, who was nominated over eight other candidates on the fifth ballot, following a speech by a (T.o^ia delegate, in which the elo quent young orator was referred to as ' a Saul come to lead the Israel ites to battle." Subsequently Bryan received the nomination of the Peo ple's an 1 the National Silver parties. The nominee, vbroke all speaking recoids in his first campaign, trav eling more ihan 13,000 miles an<l making about 600 speeches in 27 states. He polled 6,602,025 votes on McKinley's 7,504,770 and received in the Electoral College 176 votes to his opponents 271. Although defeat ed, Mr. Bryan remained the leader of his party, and after the Spanish American war in 1808 in which he commanded the Third Nebraska Vol unteer infantry as its colonel, he op posed the permanent retention of the Philippine Islands by the United fr1* talcs. In 1000, whyn again nominated for the presidency, he made "anti-impe rialism" the paramount issue, but re fused to omit an explicit party dec laration in favor of free coinage of silver in the party platform. This time he was defeated with a popu lar vote of 6,358,13.3. as against 7, 207,023 for'his opponent. He received 155 electoral votes to M<Kinley's 202. Mr. Bryan returned to Lincoln and started the publication of a weekly political Journal called The Common er. Four years later, 1004, although not actively a candidate foP the nom ination, which eventually went to Judge Alton B. Parker, he vigorously opposed Democracy's "conservative" attitude. The interim between this period and the next presidential election of 1008 was occupied by Mr. Bryan now known by many of his followers as "The Peerless Leader," in several en terprises that kept him in the public eye. Notable among these was his trip" around the world on which he started September 21, 1905,. Accom i panied by his wife, son and a daugh ter, Mr. Bryan first went to Japan and China, where he was hospitably entertained and made numerous ad dresses, one of which, entitled, "The . White Man's Burden," was commend ed by the Japanese-American Soci ety. The Bryans were presented to | the emperor of Japan and were every where accorded the honor of foremost Americans. Later the party went to the Philippines, where Mr. Bryan's views on Filipino independence were welcomed. During this visit the sav age Moros of Mindanao Island created the Nebraskan a "datto" or chief of one of their tribes. Leaving the Philippines, the party went to India, the Holy Land, Tur key, Austria-Hungary, Gel-many, Rus sia, Italy, Norway, Sweden and other European countries, finally arriving in London on July 3, 1005. Mean while Mr. Bryan had "interviewed" King Edward VII, the Emperor of .Russia and other potentates, and | Count Leo Toiston and had made nuni- | erous speeches all of which were re ported in the American press and which inspired a desire on the part of Democrats at home to give him a great reception, which was done upon his return to America the following September. About this time Mr. Bryan came oiit for world disarmament, an ideal which is said to have prompted his drafting in 1913, when he became secretary of state, of the particular form of peace treaty between the United States and foreign nations "by which all disputes were to be submit ted to an impartial investigating com i mission for a year before hostilities could begin. This has been regarded as Mr. Bryan's greatest achievement, I for thirty foreign nations, including the Central Powers, and representing three-fourths of the populations of the earth, became signatories to the document. About a year later the World war broke out in all its fury. In 18i06 Mr. Bryan was again named as the Democratic standard bearer. The campaign was waged on the prin cipal issue of opposition to "trusts" and for a third time the Democratic nominee suffered defeat, polling 6,409,104 votes to Taft's 7,678,908 and (Continued on lMt ptge.)
