Turner Seta Forth Reasons
For Bright Prospect
In Klamath
DAYTON, Tenn., July 27. William Jennings, Bryan,
many times styled as America's first citizen, and whose power
of oratory has emblazoned his name throughout the civilized
world, died here yesterday afternoon. Bryan, who had three
times been nominated for the presidency of the United States,
died about four o'clock in the home of Richard Rogers. After
having partaken of a hearty meal, the great commoner, who
appeared to be in a jovial mood, remarked to Mrs. Bryan, who
had dined with him : "I am so sleepy" and then retired. These
were the last words he uttered, for the man who electrified
the democratic convention in Chicago in 1896, with his "cross
of gold and crown of thorns" went to the sleep from which
there is no awakening. ' ; , '.
Death came without pain as far.

Bryan waa 66 yeara old, and flrat
ecame prominent In polltlca In 1896,
when as delegate from Nebraska, he
walked onto the speaker's platform
at tha democratic convention in Chi
cago, practically unknown, and made
a arieech that aroused such enthu
siasm among the delegates that they
honored him with the nomination
for president on the democratic
ticket.
Bryan, who only a few weeks ago
requested to be buried in Arlington
national cemetery, will be laid to
rest amid simple services In the Ad
miral Dewey section.
William Jennings Bryan was the
greatest democrat of his generation.
His absolute party reign ended when
he threw the votes he controlled to
Wood row Wilson In the Baltimore
national convention of 1912, and
saw a new sun rise on the hosts of
domecracy.
Since the Chicago democratic con
vention la 1896 he had ruled hla
party almost absolutely. Three times
he had been named for the party
leadership, and aa many times been
defeated at the polls. And It takes
ability In a beaten leader to continue
leading.

throne will live as long as the po

Many Small Fires
In Kamath Forests
Districts Affected By
Electrical Storms
From six to eight rmnll forest
fires are smouldering iu tlio Klam

terday none threatened to reach
serious proportions. This was the
report of Jack Kimball, secretary
of tho Klamath Forest Protective
nssociallon. !t night after his re
turn from an extended trip to the
northern sections of the county.
"Three or four small fires are
burning north of Bly and ,the same

it will be n week yet before tho

The Chicago convention of 1896 was
controlled by the free silver men.
Silver 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."
Halt an hour later the entire con
vention was cheering "the dub from
Nebraska," while the state stand
ards were carried In parade down
the aisles and grouped In front of

Killed By Free Silver ' ;
Free silver killed Brynn politic
ally. Insofar as elective olflce-noio-lng
was concerned, as dead as oil
killed others; gold some, and free
trade .others. Although the 1896
campaign was the only one that
Bryan made on a strictly free silver
platform, the mass ot the voting
public could never be convinced that
Bryan was not a hair-brained tne-
orlst, whose cult was ruin, ixing
after the body of Mark Hanna had
rusted to dust In a Cleveland ceme
tery, the effect ot the bitter cam
paign of 1896 kept its veto on
Bryan's elective ambitions. -
In many ways, Bryan was a states
man in advance ot his times. . He
was accustomed to Bay that econ
omic progress, while It . had made
legal establishment of free silver 16
to 1, unnecessary, had proved the
soundness ot Us theory. He lived
to see four of his pet ideas become
the law of the land Prohibition,
woman suffrage, direct election of
United States senators and direct
prlmariea.
Bryan was a prophet, not without
honor, but without elective success
in his own country.
The mass of the voters cheered
him, admired him, but wouldn't vote
for him. His Issue ot Imperallsm
fell flat. His Issue ot governmental
ownership ot the railroads waa re
jected by his generation. Whether
time will vindicate that, aa it did
other Bryan Issues, time only can
answer.
Bryan's Last Fight .
In the convention ot 1920, when
James B. Cox of Ohio was selected
as the democratic standard-bearer,
Bryan held a proxy and made the
fight tor a dry plank In the national
platform. With Bourke Cockran, he
ataged one ot the greatest -debates
ot a career full ot oratory. The
erect young form that had electri
fied the 1896 convention bad grown
somewhat paunchy, the long, jet
black hair ot yesteryear had began
to turn and waa much thinner. But
Bryan had the same force, the same
magnetism, the same fire, the same
easy flow ot thought, and language,
the same eloquence. Cockran, the
great Irish orator ot Tammany hall,
waa cool, keen, logical asd Incisive.
And when it was over tha convention
rose and cheered Its old hero to the
echo. For perhaps the last time,
Bryan saw the standards ot the
states plucked from sockets and
carried in parade for him. It was
a tribute to the great party leader
who waa passing had just passed.
Then the delegatea calmly return
