Bryan la the most completely typical
plain American citizen In the public eye
today. He represents with perfect fidelity
the spirit of the great middle section of
the country, where he was born and
brought up.
Only two generations ago, the owner of
a piece of virgin soil, two strong arms
and a decent character had all the
chance that anybody could have. On this
traditional basts his life la built. He It
& practical farmer, a successful lawyer,
an influential editor, and one of the most
forceful orators In America.
During the Spanish-American War he
rralsed and commanded the Third
Nebraska Infantry. Here again he was
the typical American, for his military
service was only an Incident. He did
his duty and did It well, then came back
to the life and work of a plain civilian.
This is an exceptional chance for his
fellow Americans to see In many phases
and many lights the beet-known private
citizen of our Nation one who, while
holding no conspicuous public office what
ever to lend artificial prestige to his
actual personal worth, is known all
around the world.
What about his future?
! That remains for America to say.
