Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Full text search William Jennings Bryan William Jennings Bryan was born in Salem, Illinois. He was educated at Illinois College in Jacksonville and Union Law School in Chicago. Bryan practiced law in Jacksonville for several years, but in 1887 moved to Lincoln, Nebraska where he hoped to launch a political career. Bryan was elected to Congress twice, 1890 and 1892. His influence grew rapidly, due largely to his strong advocacy of free silver , opposition to high protective tariffs and oratorical skills. In 1894, Bryan worked to unite the Democrats and Populists in Nebraska, but later lost a bid for a Senate seat. Out of politics, Bryan became the editor of the Omaha World-Herald and traveled widely as a lecturer on the Chautauqua circuit. Popular perception notwithstanding, Bryan's nomination at the Democratic convention in was not a spontaneous event fueled by his " cross of gold " speech. The gathering was electrified by his performance, but Bryan's handlers had long been at work securing votes from the delegates. His advocacy of free silver later brought him the Populist Party's nomination. During the campaign, Bryan became the first candidate to unabashedly seek voter support. He traveled thousands of miles by train and delivered hundreds of speeches, stopping even in the smallest of towns. His oratorical prowess earned him the nickname "boy orator of the Platte," but his detractors liked to point out that the Platte River was only six inches deep and a mile wide at the mouth.

Although he was born in Salem, Illinois, Bryan made his career in Nebraska politics. He won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1890. A tireless defender of the small farmer and laborer, Bryan worked closely with the Populist Party, a group of poor Midwestern and Southern farmers who suffered economically due to low prices for their crops, which they blamed on Northeastern business interests. Bryan's efforts on behalf of farmers and laborers (the so-called "common" people) earned him the title the "Great Commoner." Is Silver Better than Gold?

William Jennings Bryan "Free coinage means constant prosperity, employment and higher wages and goverment of the people, and for the people, and not of Hanna, for the trusts, and by the plutacrats." William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate for President of the United States, was born in Salem, Marion County, Ill., May 19, 1860. "My early life ran quiet as a brook," he remarked to the writer. "And although I was fond of books I also delighted in outdoor sports. The pleasantest memory of my boyhood is that of my mother, who taught me until I was ten years of age." Mr. Bryan attended the public schools until he was fifteen years old when he entered Whipple Academy, at that time the preparatory department of Illinois College, located at Jacksonville. In 1877 he entered the college proper, took the classical course, and graduated in 1881 as valedictorian and class orator. Although a profound student, he yet manifested a tendency for athletic sports. His favorite exercise was jumping, and his record for the standing or broad jump was twelve feet and four inches. In 1881 he entered the Union College of Law in Chicago, from which he was graduated in 1883. He was admitted to the bar in 1883, and began the practice of his profession at Jacksonville, Ill., where he remained for four years. He then removed to Lincoln, Neb., where he formed a partnership with A. R. Talbot, a former classmate.

William Jennings Bryan March 19, 1860-July, 1925 William Jennings Bryan was defeated three times for the presidency of the United States, but retained a hold on public opinion that would be the envy of presidents. For years he led the Democratic party towards social reformism and secured its 1912 nomination of Woodrow Wilson. Born in Salem, Illinois, Bryan graduated in 1881 from Illinois College in Jacksonville and got a law degree in 1883 from the Union College of Law in Chicago. In 1887 he moved to Nebraska, and in 1890 he was the second Democrat elected to Congress from his state. Reelected in 1892 with the support of the People's Party , but declined to run for reelection in 1894 and sought election by the state legislature to the U. S. Senate. In the course of this, he stumped the state for free coinage of silver and for tariff reform and an income tax, attaining a modest national reputation. At the age of thirty-six, Bryan won the Democratic nomination for president with his dramatic Cross of Gold speech , calling for free and unlimited coinage of silver. The apparent Democratic embrace of a modest reform agenda severely undercut and ultimately destroyed the People's Party . Afterwards, when Bryan was crushed in the 1896 elections, the conservative wing of the Democratic party again resumed its dominance.

17. William Jennings Bryan William Jennings Bryan. A Conservative Progressive. I am satisfied with the God we have, with the Bible and with Christ.”. William Jennings Bryan. http://spider.georgetowncollege.edu/htallant/courses/his338/students/kowens/brya

William Jennings Bryan A Conservative Progressive “People often ask me why I can be a progressive in politics and a fundamentalist in religion. The answer is easy. Government is man made and therefore imperfect. It can always be improved. But religion is not a man made affair. If Christ is the word, how can anyone be a progressive in religion? I am satisfied with the God we have, with the Bible and with Christ.” William Jennings Bryan William Jennings Bryan was the leader of the Democratic party from 1896 until the election Woodrow Wilson in 1912. During this time, he made three unsuccessful bids for the presidency. During this epoch of his life, politics monopolized the majority of his time, but his religious beliefs were always important to him and the convictions dictated his opinions on policy. Religious convictions formed his opinions on Progressivism and world peace. However, when he resigned from his last political post in 1915, Secretary of State under Wilson, he was able to shift his emphasis from politics to religion. Bryan always maintained that the two spheres were of equal importance to him, and Bryan knew he could still make contributions to society without holding an office.

William Jennings Bryan: American Protest Over the Sinking of the Lusitania Please call on the minister of foreign affairs and, after reading to him this communication, leave him with a copy. In view of recent acts of the German authorities in violation of American rights on the high seas which culminated in the torpedoing and sinking of the British steamship Lusitania on May 7, 1915, by which over 100 American citizens lost their lives, it is clearly wise and desirable that the government of the United States and the Imperial German government should come to a clear and full understanding as to the grave situation which has resulted. The sinking of the British passenger steamer Falaba by a German submarine on March 28, through which Leon C. Thrasher, an American citizen, was drowned; the attack on April 28 on the American vessel Cushing by a German aeroplane; the torpedoing on May 1 of the American vessel Gulflight by a German submarine, as a result of which two or more American citizens met their death; and, finally, the torpedoing and sinking of the steamship Lusitania constitute a series of events which the government of the United States has observed with growing concern, distress, and amazement.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History BRYAN, WILLIAM JENNINGS , Democratic party leader and secretary of state, 1913-1915. Born in Illinois, Bryan inherited from his parents an intense commitment to the Democratic party and a fervent Protestant faith. After graduating from Illinois College and Union Law School, he married and, seeing no political future in Illinois, moved to Nebraska in 1887. In 1890, when the new Populist party disrupted Nebraska politics, Bryan won election to Congress; he was reelected in 1892. In Congress, he earned respect for his oratory and became a leader among free-silver Democrats. In 1894 he led Nebraska's Democrats to support the state Populist party. Bryan electrified the 1896 Democratic convention with his stirring Cross of Gold speech favoring free silver and thereby captured the presidential nomination. Also nominated by the Populists, Bryan agreed with their view that government should protect individuals and the democratic process against monopolistic corporations. "The Boy Orator of the Platte" traveled eighteen thousand miles and spoke to thousands of voters, but lost; William McKinley's victory initiated a generation of Republican dominance in national politics. Bryan's 1896 campaign, however, marked a long-term shift within the Democratic party from a Jacksonian commitment to minimal government toward a positive view of government. During the Spanish-American War, Bryan served as a colonel in a Nebraska regiment, but after the war, he condemned McKinley's Philippine policy as imperialism. Nominated again by the Democrats in 1900, Bryan hoped to make the election a referendum on imperialism, but other issues intervened, including his own insistence on free silver and attacks on monopolies. McKinley won again.

Stanley K. Schultz, Professor of History William P. Tishler, Producer Shane Hamilton, Web Editor Bryan, William Jennings Political leader (1860-1925) Born in Salem, Illinois, he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1883. After moving to Nebraska, he was elected to the House of Representatives in 1890 and served two terms. Though defeated in an 1894 Senate race and never again elected to public office, Bryan remained a highly influential national figure. Rooted in agrarian populism, he advocated low tariffs, free silver, direct election of senators, the income tax, aid to farmers, the minimum wage, and women's suffrage. He also became known as a rousing, impassioned orator. At the 1896 Democratic convention, he mesmerized delegates with his famous "Cross of Gold" speech and ended up the party's presidential nominee. He ran for president on the Democratic ticket three times (1896, 1900, 1908) but lost each election. Cartoon depicts William Jennings Bryan "Tryin Bryan served in the Spanish-American War, but he staunchly opposed imperialist policies in his presidential campaigns. In 1901, he founded the journal The Commoner to promote his brand of populism. He supported Woodrow Wilson in the 1912 election and became Wilson's secretary of state the following year. During the First World War, he advocated strict neutrality and eventually resigned in 1915 over Wilson's pro-Allies policies. A devout Christian all his life, Bryan spent his later years campaigning for prohibition and against the teaching of evolution. In 1925, he served as prosecutor in the infamous "monkey trial" of John Scopes, a Tennessee teacher arrested for teaching evolution.
