WILLIAM J. 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. Men nation
ally prominent in the party had pre-ci-dt
d him, ai d opposed the plank un
ices tt ehouid provide for bimetal urn
by international agreement. The sit
UHtion Hh) U-nke when the Nebras
ka n, thin only i6 years old one year
more that) tha constitutional require
ment fr a .treidr tit arose to speak.
1.' wry body wue tired; everybody seem
ed rwady fur compromise. 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.
