WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN HAD
LONG BEEN BEFORE THE PUBLIC
(By The Associated I'rgifc)
Virtually dominant in the Demo
cratic party for nearly sixteen years,
William J. 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
