BRYAN DIES IN SLEEP (Continued from Page Two) Would Rule Chicago the First Nebraska district, a repub lican stronghold, "because no one else would have it," he said, since it was believed no democrat could win. He was elfcttd and served from 181 un til 15. He was made a member of the important ways and means com mittee in his first term. Two speeches in this period gave Mr. Bryan nation-wide prominence, one against the policy of protection, delivered on March 16, IbJ'l, and the other against the repeal of the sil ver purchase clause of the Sherman Act on August 16, 1W3. In the lat ter he advocated the free and un limited coin age of silver, irrespective of international agreement, at ra tio of 16 to X." a policy with which his name was most prominently as soc.ated until he nut red the cab inet of President Wilson. The first nomination of Mr. Bryan for the presidency at the democratic national convention in Chciago on July 10, lfiyS, has since been charac terized as one of the "miracles" of American politics. The rommee, af ter srvirg in congress, had ran for j trie I'nited States senate and been de feated by Senator John M. Thurston of Nt-bracka. Abandoning the law, Mr. Bryan became editor of the Oma ha World Herald and championed the cause of bimetallism as vigorously with the pen as he had upon the fjr um. He had been beaten for a third term in congress on the issue of "sound money" and when tha time cun.e f jt the national convention tnipj tjuention was rendir.g both big polit ical parties. There were free silver republicans as well as democrats, but tht nominee of the former, Henry M Teller of Colorado, threw his support to Br an when the Nebraskan won the nomination at Chicago. Th "cross of gold" speech by Bry an, which has been quoted o( tetter, prrhapK. than any other of his words, nnd which made him a rival of Wil liam MrKmley for the presidency rums at the close of a debate on the floor of the convention in advocacy! of a free silver plank.

Not so the drlrRnU from Nebrsfka. There was fir in his eye when he begun to fpi uk : "I would W prei4Uir.pt uuun, indeed, to prt'scnt my Me if agsinst tht dia tthguihht d iretit Irman to whom you h listened,' he satd, "if this wer a mrie m-aiuring of abilities; but (his is hot a contest between persona. Mrs. Johanna Gregg, member of Chicago School Board, thinks the second city needs a municipal housekeeper to McIean-up.H She has the party support and is out for the Republican nomination as mayor. A rapid fire campaign U planned. The humblest citizen in all the land, when clad in the armor of a right eous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. I come to speak to you in defense of a cause as holy as the cause of liberty the cause of humanity." Then charging the evils of the day the idle mills, the social unrest and low wages to the scarcity of money and the "idle holders of idle capital in Wall street," he continued: "The individual is but an atom; he Is born, he acts, he dies; but prin ciples are eternal; and this has been a contest over a principle. Haring behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the la boring interests and the toilers ev erywhere, we will answer those who demand a single gold standard by saying: "You the brow thorns. You shall not crucify man kind upon this cross of gold.' Stampeded for Bryan. The convention was stampeded for Bryn, who was nominated over eight other candidates on the fifth ballot, following ft speech by a Georgia del egate in which the eloquent young orator was referred to as Saul come to lead the Israelites to battle." Subsequently Bryan received the nom inations of the people's and the na tional silver parties. The nominee broke all speaking rec ords in his first campaign, traveling more than 18,000 miles and making about 6O0 speeches in 27 states. H polled .502.!25 votes to McKinley's 7.104.77", and received in the electoral college 17 votes to his opponent's remained the leader of his party, and after the Spanish -American war in 1898, in which he commanded the 3rd Nebraska volunteer infantry as its colonel, he opposed the permanent retention of the Phillipine Islands by the United States. In 1900, when again nominated for the presidency, he made "anti-imperialism" 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 popular vote of 6,358,133 as against 7,207,923 for his opponent. He received 155 electoral votes to McKinley's 292. Mr. Bryan returned to Lincoln and started the publication of a weekly journal called The Commoner. Four years later, 1904, although not active ly a candidate for the nomination which eventually went to Judge Alton B. Parker, he vigorously opposed de mocracy's "conservative" attitude. Has Many Interests. The interim between this period and the next presidential election of 1908 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 hi: I trip -around the world on which he started September 21, 1905. Accom panied by his wife, son and daughter, Mr. Bryan first went to Japan and China where he was hospitably enter tained and made numerous addresses, one of which, entitled, "The White Man's Burden" was commended by the Japanese-American Society. The Bryans were presented to the Emper or of Japan and were everywhere ac corded the honor of foremost Ameri cans. Later the party went to the Phillipines where Mr. Bryan's views on Filipino independence were wel comed. During this visit the savage Moros of Mindanao island created the Nebraskan a "datto" or chief of one of their tribes. Leaving the Phillipines the party went to India, the Holy Land, Tur key. Austria-Hungary, Germany, Rus sia, Italy, Norway, Sweden and other European countries, finally arriving in London on July 3, 1906. Meanwhile Mr. Bryan had "interviewed" King tions, and representing three-fourths! of the population of the earth, be- j came signatories to the document. I About a year later the world war broke out in all its fury. In 1908 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 receiving 162 electoral votes to his opponent's 321. Notwithstanding Mr. Bryan's re verses in politics, it is said, he was "a good loser." Of Presbyterian for bears, optimistic and of a religious nature, his setbacks failed to Make him lose faith in his future. Hs re fused to become discouraged. For the next four years, or until the cam paign of 1912, which resulted in the election of President Wilson, Mr. Bryan continued to edit his newspa per and to attend the councils of his pr rty. In his ft rat camaign hia home in L;ncoln was a Mecca for prominent democrats, where Mrs. Bryan, a scholarly woman, formerly Miss Mary E. Baird of Perry, III., who had great ly aided her husband in hii policical career, was ft charming hostess. The Bryans had three children, one son and two daughters. Sought as Speaker. Always in demand as a lecturer, especially at Chautauquas, Mr. Bry an's income was augmented by his writings for newspapers and maga zines and his authorship of several books. The latter included "The First Battle," (1897); "Under Other Flags," (1904); "The Old World and Its Ways," (1907); "Heart to Heart Ap peals," (1917). In addition to hia Nebraska h ome, Mr. Bryan after his shall not press down upon E(Jwar(j yil, the emperor of Russia, w of labor this crown of and other potentates, and Count Leo Leo Tolstoi and had made numerous ad dresses, all of which were reported in the American press and which in spired a desire on the part of demo crats at home to give him ft great re ception which was done upon his re turn to America, the following Sep tember. About this time Mr. Bryan came out for world disarmament, an ideal which fs 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 submitted to an impartial investigat ing commission for a year before hos tilities could begin." This has been regarded as Mr. Bryan's greatest 271. Although defeated, Mr. Bryan achievement for thirty foreign na- final defeat for the presidency, tablished residences in Ashville, C, and Miami, Fla. A few months before tha time for the 1912 democratic national conven tion, Mr. Bryan publicly announced that he would not be a candidate, de claring he was "ready to enter upon a campaign In behalf of a true dem ocrat with even more vigor than that which I have fought at any time on my own behalf." Woodrow Wilson at thia tima was Governor of New Jersey and had at tracted attention of the Nebraskan, it is said, by reason of hit "progres sive" legislation. The convention, led by Bryan against the Tammany men in the New York .delegation, is a matter of history. Despite the fact that Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives, led on 27 ballots for the nomination and had a clear majority of nine, which or dinarily would have mad him the party's candidate, the Nebraakan'a el oquence and persistence against dom ination of the party by Wall street resulted in failure of tha Mlssourian to get the necessary two-thirds of the convention and in the designation of Wilson. Mr. Bryan and Mr. Wilson held many ideals in common. Whan Mr. Wilson was elected president he ap pointed Mr. Bryan secretary of state. The two years Mr. Bryan occupied a place at the head of Mr. Wilson's cabinet were years of perplexity and stress. The Mexican embroglio, the Japanese anti-alien land controversy in California and the correspondence with Germany and Austria-Hungary, antecedent to America'a entrance into the war, were problems that gave the Nebraska statesman many sleepless nights. During his term of office, because of an insult to the United States flag the refusal of "Dictator" Huerta of Mexico to Are a salute as an apology American troops were dispatched to Vera Crux (which was captured Ap ril 21, 1914.) Subaequently the sol- diers and warships were withdrawn, Huerta was depoaed and a constitu tionalist government under Venus- tiana Carranza, who was favored by the administration, was set up in its stead. At the height of the anti-alien land controversy irt' California, Mr. Bryan journeyed to the Pacific coast where he held several conferences with the governor and delivered speeches be fore the state legislature. Relations with Japan during this period were reported as somewhat strained. The upshot of the matter was that a new measure, known as the Webb bill, was drafted and pass ed. It modified the restrictions against tha Japanese but evoked a protest from Tokio. Resigns From Cabinet. Mr. Bryan's resignation from the cabinet, which occurred on June 9, 1915, came as a thunderclap out of a clear sky. It was known there had been disagreements between the pres ident and his chief cabinet officer but that the breach had gone beyond healing was not realised by the pub lic mind. Germany's aggressions and her ruthless U-boat policy were daily drawing the United States into the vortex of war. Mr. Bryan seemed pledged to peace. The time came when President Wilson's notes to Germany had to take a final tone and, with the sinking of another American ship and an ultimatum from the Uni ted States, Mr. Bryan, who had pre viously declared "There is nothing final between friends," sent his let ter of resignation to the president. Mr. Wilson, deploring his action as a "personal loss," in reply, accepted his secretary's withdrawal from the cabinet, stating that they both sought the same end but by different methods." The ual of Mr. Bryan to bring about world peace, led him In the excess of his enthusiasm, It was said, to public speech and acts that brot upon him a great deal of hostile criticism. Before the United States entered the war tha Nebraskan had pledged himself to accompany an ex pedition financed by Henry Ford, the Michigan manufacturer, to Europe for the purpose of "getting the boys out of the trenches." Mr. Bryan la ter changed his plans and did not go. Subsequently ha was accused of un intentionally aiding the propaganda of the Central powers by his speeches and writings. Early in the war he declared it was "fomented" by profit seekers. In an address in San Fran cisco he said that "for the United States to go to war with Germany would be like challenging a mad house." Some time before this he waa re ported as being opposed to permit ting the United States to make any loans to tha belligerents. When the United States picked up the gage of battle thrown down by Germany, how ever, Mr. Bryan promptly declared "she must be defeated at all costs" and offered his services to President Wilson as a private soldier. While secretary of state, Mr. Bry an waa often absent from Washing ton as a lecturer and this subjected him to no little amount of railery in the press. In a public statement he said the (12,000 salary he received as a cabinet officer was insufficient to meet the ordinary household de mands upon his purse and he felt ob liged to supplement his income in other ways. One of his most popu- lar lectures was "The Prince of Peace." When he entered the cabinet, Mr. Bryan astonished Washington by an nouncing that grape juice would be substituted for alcoholic beverages whenever the secretary of state and Mrs. Bryan entertained the members of the diplomatic corps. Indeed, Mr. Bryan in his long advocacy of teeto talism was credited by many with having done more than any other American outside of the prohibition party, to force the adoption of the eighteenth amendment to the consti tution, making the United States a "dry" nation. From March, 1918, he was president of the national dry federation. Mr. G. R. Pollock of New York will lecture at the Odd Fellows hall, on Thursday evennig, Aug. 6, at 8 o' clock. Public invited.
