About this time William was sent

riousness of purpose which loomed f a • tomb- of the Hn.
ho strongly in his* later life became *« j R_
manifest. If there waa a contest,
less— whether of oratory or athletics, Bryan
* ’ ■" was in it, if possible. Although not
particularly fond of baseball or foot-
ball. he was a good runner and jump-
er, but his first attempts at declaim-
ing were not so successful. In the
'various, debates and oratorical con-
tests at Illinois £ollege in which he
entered it required quite a number
of attempts before he carried off a
first prize. He persisted, however,
and when he graduated in 1881, Bryan
was chosen to make the valedictory
address.
It was while going to college at
Jacksonville that Bryan met Miss
Mary Baird, the daughter of a mer-
chant living in Perry,- I1L Mary
Baird also was studying at Jackson-
-! e. There began a love affair that
resulted in marriage in 1884, and gave
Bryan a wife and a great helper in
his political life all in one. Three
years later, Bryan, called to Lincoln,
Neb., on business, was so impressed
with the beauty of the city that he
made plans for moving there.

Bryan was elected to congress in the
campaign of 1890.
* i activity in congress won |
him a place on the ways and means
committee and then came another
important event in his career as pfrb-
IU lie speaker. Thia was his tariff
it that he took in Wilson’s speech, delivered March 16, 1892.
He now aimed higher and after re-
fusing to be a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the house in 1894 announced
that he would run for the senate.
This campaign gave Bryan his first
real taste of defeat, hut did. not dis-
hearten him. The Republicaniland-
slide wiped away his efforts and his
opjxment, Thurston, was elected.
In the fall of 1894, Bryan entered
upon newspaper work aS chief of the
editorial staff of the .Omaha W’orld-
Herald, giving much of his time to
this work, until the national conven-
tion of 1896.
At this time, Bryan also branched
out as a lecturer, and in addition to
liis speechmaking on behalf of the
Democratic party he took up Chautau-
qua work. This was the real be-
ginning of his travels over the United
States.
Then came the presidential cam-
paign of 1896 and the, Chicago Demo-
cratic national convention.
Bryan, after his second defeat for
president, started “The Commoner,” a
political magazine, at Lincoln, which,
with lus lectures, writing and news-
paper work, gave him a comfortable
fortune.
The Baltimore Convention.
After Bryan’s defeat by Taft in
1908, the presidential campaign of
1912 brought Bryan into the public
eye again. i , 4
As the head of the Nebraska dele-
gation, Bryan went to the Deniocratic
national convention with, instructions
to support “Champ” Clark, but when
tile convention deadlocked and the
Tammany delegates swung over from
JJli&rwood to Clark, Bryan swung
his lorces to Wilson and gained the
latter’s nomination, j
Prior th this, in 1911, Bryan had
- -klL. —xL, —.Ll-.tj
he gave up his life's hope, saying:

would rather go to my grave with the
consciousness tlat I have done right,
to give to my country the best pos-

for.vpar by year, during his reign:

When King David waa told of the
death of his rtern and loyal captain,
Abner, he was deeply grieved and
said: “A prince in Israel is fallen.”
Such mart have been the thought
of thousands throughout the United
States Sunday when the word w„
flatbed around the world that Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan had died sud-
denly at his hotel in Dayton, Ten-
nessee. For truly he was a prince
among men,duid died a martyr, per-
haps, to his deep snd abiding con
victiona on matters relating to the
immortality af the human soul, the
divinity of Christ and the inspiration
- of the Bible as the revealed will of
, be one’i political
or religious beliefs, all must do hon-
or to the great spirit and magnificent
intellect of the great commoner, who
has aetf a lupit is the firmament, of
this land *of freedom that .has cast
its benign fays into the darkest
nooks of the universe and will shine
brighter and brighter as the yean go
by-
William Jennings Bryan was a man
ahead of his time. The world was
not ready for his lofty ideals and
could not fully appreciate his mag-
nificent personality. But when the
history of these epochical years are
finally written, the name of William
Jennings Bryan will stand out large
on those pages.
Bryan could not be president. It
is well, perhaps, that he was not
given that great responsibility. His
congress would not have been in sym-
pathy with his high ideals, and such
as might have been sanctioned would
have been tried only half-heartedly
—doomed to failure by lack of co-
operation and lack of interest in the
reforms he would no doubt have
sought in the body' politic.
But who would say that Bryan lias
lived in vain? Ages after sdme of
his trnducers have been forgotten,
his name will stand out as one of
the Immortals, and the ideals he has
promulgated will go on to fruition
and glorious triumph.
Truly a prince in Israel is fallen.

greatest Democrat of his generati
His absolute party reign ended wl
he throw the votes he controlled
Woodrow Wilson in the
national convention of J9nl
new sun rise, on the hosts of democ-
racy. |
Since the Chicago Democratic con-
vention in 1896 he had ruled his
party almostabsolutely. Three
times he haxl been named for the
party leadership and as many times
lieen defeated at the polld And it
takes ability in a beaten leader to
continue leading. * <
The story of his accession te the
throne will live as long Ms the po-
litical history of. the United States.
The Chicago convention of 1896 was
controlled by the free silver men. Sil-
ver was the issue. The gold men,
however, were making a bitter fight.
“Silver Dick” Bland of Missouri was
the probable nominee. As the de-
bate grew bitter, a young man, with
flowing black hair, made his way to
the platform.
“Who is he?”'asked one.
“Oh, just a dub congressman from
Nebraska. They’ll choke him off be-
fore long.”
Half an hour later the entire con-
vention was eh?ering “The Dub from
Nebraska,” while the state standards
were -arned in parade down the aisles
and grouped in front of Nebraska.
Bland Was Beaten.
David B, Hill, one of the great
Democrats, was seated down in front.
When Bryan started, Hill looked
bored and yawned. When Bryan
reached his climax and thundered:
“You shall not press up>n the brow
'of labor this crown of thorns; you
shall not crucify manlrinti' upon a
cross of gold”—and even before that
ne\or-to-be-f irgoittn parade of stand-
about the hall, Hill turned to one of
his friends and said: “That ends
Bland’s and every other boom in the
convention.”
It did. Bryan was the nomine^.
Strange to say, the speech wasn’t
new either. Ri^an nad deliveerd it,
climax and all, a dozen times, but
never under such dramatic circum-
stance*. . •' '
Bryan made a wonderful campaign.
He traveeld 18.000 miles, spoke at
every stopping place and was defeat-
ed by William McKinley by 271 elec-
toral votes to 176 for Bryan. Sena-
tor Mark Hanna of Ohio had care-
fully planned the camjmign for Mc-
Kinley. The “free silver” issue was
held up to scorn as the fallacy of a
Populism gone mad—an evil ! that
combined all the weaknesses and. at
the ‘Mine time, all the distructive
forces of Greenback ism and Populism.
Bryan was derided as a second “Sock-
less Jerry” Simpson. “Free Silver
would close the factories and-, the
working man would starve,” whs the
cry of thousands of orators and hun-
dreds of newspapers. “Full dinner
pail” grades were organized by em-
ployers all .over the nation. 'McKin-
ley made a “frost lawn” campaign at
Canton, Ohio., the forerunner pf the
“front porch” campaigns of later
years. M> Kinley was posed as the
<ha»npion ef conservatism, tl»ek de-
fender of property rights. Suave,
lignifi-xl, imposing. McKinley looked
tne part. The Republican press
spoke of Bryan in terms compared
characterization of the Bolsheviks
was a compliment. To the Republican
orators Bryan was a wild-eyed torch
bearer, ready to wreck the United
States.
Killed by Fre* Silver.
Free silver killed Bryan politically,
intolar as elective office-holding was
concerned, as dead as oil killed others,
gold some, and free trade others.

Long after the body of Mark Hanna
had rusted to duct in a Cleveland

'•ampaign of 1896 kept its veta on
Bryan’s' elective ambitions.
In many waye, Bryan was a states-
man in advance of bis times. He-----—--- _
was accustomed to say that economic Garrison refused
progress, while'it had" made legal es-

nomination and as a graceful recogni-

cause Wilson needed the help of the
Bryan ctrngressmen and senators from
the west and south to carry hta| poli-
cies into legislation.
There .never was any real friend-
ship between Bryan and Wikon. Both
were men accustomed to giviag or-
ders, not. to taking them. There
was too much iron in both constitu-
tions to bend. The result wa« fore-
cast by friends of both men. When
the WorM War broke, both Wilson
and Bryan were pacifists. As it
progressed. Bryan adhered mote and
more to the idea that the United
State? should withdraw from all
ropean interests and not under r
condtien allow the United States
be dragged into the conflict. Wils—,
at the start, as pacific as Bryan,
found hin self gravitating the other
way. Wilson and his secretary of
