Name: William Jennings Bryan Categories: Presidential Losers (lost to President William McKinley in 1896 and 1900 and to President William Howard Taft in 1908) US Congressman from Nebraska Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson Burial Location: Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, USA. Mike's Notes: William Jennings Bryan's grave is not the easiest to find in Arlington Cemetery. As you stand facing the main entrance to the cemetery, his grave is far to the left near the front of the cemetery. It's on a hill and can easily be overlooked. Even with the cemetery map, I found it difficult to search out. Bryan, though not a household name, contributed in significant ways to the country through his service.

Who's Who: William Jennings Bryan Updated - Saturday, 24 November, 2001 William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925), the man who would have been president, served as President Wilson's Secretary of State following the former's presidential victory in 1912, a position Bryan retained until his resignation in June 1915 over Wilson's handling of the sinking of the Lusitania A major force in American politics for three decades, Bryan was three times the Democratic party's candidate for presidential election (in 1896, 1900 and 1908), each time without success. Born on 19 March 1960 in Salem, Illinois, Bryan studied law and entered legal practice in his home state before moving to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1887. Three years later he was elected as a Congressman, winning re-election in 1892. Shortly after his election to Congress Bryan made a case for inflationary policies (including free silver) and unsuccessfully campaigned against the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893. Bryan failed in his attempts to reach the Senate in 1894 but, despite remaining out of public office, garnered an increasingly wide following as a proponent of free silver, set against Grover Cleveland's so-called 'gold Democrats'. With the silverites in the ascendancy Bryan succeeded in winning his party's presidential nomination at the Democratic convention of 1896. Although he lost the election Bryan actually won more votes than Cleveland had when winning the 1892 election.

The Library of Congress We will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold. William Jennings Bryan, "Cross of Gold" Speech, July 9, 1896, Democratic National Convention, Chicago. William Jennings Bryan Prints and Photographs Division William Jennings Bryan , gifted orator and three-time presidential candidate was born on March 19 , 1860, in Salem, Illinois. Trained as a lawyer, Bryan never abandoned his Midwestern values. His deeply held religious beliefs and his consistent defense of the ordinary American earned him the moniker "the Great Commoner." After serving just two terms in the House of Representatives, Bryan reached the pinnacle of his political career. In 1896, Bryan defeated incumbent president Grover Cleveland to win the Democratic party nomination for president. Just thirty-six, Bryan managed to attract the support of mainstream Democrats as well as disaffected third party Populists and Free Silverites. His moving "Cross of Gold" speech, delivered prior to his nomination, lambasted Eastern monied classes for supporting the gold standard at the expense of the average worker. Bryan's stance, directly opposing conservative Grover Cleveland, united splintered Democrats and won the handsome "Boy Orator of the Platte" the nomination.

The Impossibility of Neutrality This enumeration does not include a reference to Great Britain's indifference to the increased dangers thrown upon us by the misuse of our flag or to her unwarranted interference with our trade with neutral nations. Germany cannot but construe the strong statement of the case against her, coupled with silence as to the unjustifiable action of the Allies as evidence of partiality toward the latter an impression which will be deepened in proportion to the loudness of the praise which the Allies bestow upon the statement of this government's position. The only way, as I see it, to prevent irreparable injury being done by the statement is to issue simultaneously a protest against the objectionable conduct of the Allies which will keep them from rejoicing and show Germany that we are defending our rights against aggression from both sides. I am only giving you, my dear Mr. President, the situa tion as it appears to me and praying all the while that I may be wholly mistaken and that your judgement may be vindicated by events.... source: William Jennings Bryan to Woodrow Wilson (n.d.), in Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States: The Lansing Papers (1914-1920) (Washington, D.C., 1939) vol. 1, pp. 392-393.

13 November 1914 Letter Concerning William Jennings Bryan's Opinion of the Great War Letter from Sir Cecil Spring-Rice to Sir Arthur Nicolson, concerning William Jennings Bryan's Opinion of the Great War. He said that all the Powers concerned had been disappointed in their ambitions. Germany had not taken Paris. France had not retaken Alsace, England had not cleared the seas of the German navy. The last month had made no appreciable difference in the relative positions of the armies, and there was now no prospect of an issue satisfactory to any Power. Why should they not make peace now, if they had to make peace a year hence after another year's fruitless struggle. It would be far wiser if each said what it was fighting for and asked the United States to help them in arriving at a peaceful conclusion. I asked him if he thought that under present circumstances Germany would give up Belgium and compensate her for her suffering. If not, how could the United States Government go on record as condoning a peace which would put the seal on the most disgraceful act of tyranny and oppression committed in modern times? I didn't believe there was a man in the country not a German or a Jew who could advocate such a cause. He got rather angry and said that if that was what we wanted, why did we not say so. He added, Who can tell who was really responsible for what had happened in Belgium or whether the treaty wasn't only a pretext?' I reminded him that he was a great admirer of Gladstone, who was like him, a great lover of peace, and that Gladstone had always maintained that if we had gone to war for Belgium in 1870, we should have gone to war for freedom and for public right and to save human happiness from being invaded by a tyrannous and lawless power, and that in such a war as that while the breath continued in his body he was ready to engage. This rather surprised him as he had read in the newspapers that Gladstone had always maintained that the Belgian Treaty was not binding."

The following article, first published in August 1925 soon after the famous Scopes Trial, was written by him shortly before his death, and we believe it should still be read today. Are those who reject evolution as an unproved hypothesis unreasonable in refusing to accept, as conclusive, the evidence offered by evolutionists in support of a proposition that links every living thing in blood relationship to every other living thingthe rose to the onion, the eagle to the mosquito, the mockingbird to the rattlesnake, the royal palm to the scrub oak, and man to all? Surely, so astounding a proposition should be supported by facts before it becomes binding upon the judgment of a rational being.

NSHS Home Kids! Stuff WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN William Jennings Bryan was one of Nebraska's most influential politicians and a famous and powerful speaker. Born in Illinois, Bryan studied law in college and moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1887 to set up a law practice. In 1890 he was elected the first Democratic congressman from Nebraska. He was United States Secretary of State for President Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1915, and an editor of the Omaha World-Herald from 1894 to 1896. William Jennings Bryan was the candidate of the Democratic Party for president of the United States in 1896, 1900, and 1908, but he lost each time. Known as the "Great Commonor," Bryan showed his concern for the working man and woman by helping bring about several changes in the way our government works. Some of them are: Bryan was the first candidate for president to go out and meet the people during an election campaign. This was called "whistle-stop campaigning." Bryan wanted U.S. senators to be elected directly by the voters in each state instead of by state legislatures. The U.S. Constitution was amended in 1913 to let the people vote for senators.

Bryan, William Jennings Bryan, c. By courtesy of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. (b. March 19, 1860, Salem, Ill., U.S.d. July 26, 1925, Dayton, Tenn.), Democratic and Populist leader and a magnetic orator who ran unsuccessfully three times for the U.S. presidency (1896, 1900, 1908). His enemies regarded him as an ambitious demagogue, but his supporters viewed him as a champion of liberal causes. He was influential in the eventual adoption of such reforms as popular election of senators, income tax, creation of a Department of Labor, Prohibition, and woman suffrage. Throughout his career, his Midwestern roots clearly identified him with agrarian interests, in opposition to those of the urban East. Reared in Illinois, Bryan practiced law at Jacksonville (1883-87) before moving to Lincoln, Neb., where he was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1890. Renowned as a gifted debater, he opposed high tariffs and came to be considered the national leader of the Free Silver Movement (bimetallism) as opposed to the "hard money" policy of the Eastern bankers and industrialists, who favoured the gold standard. Defeated for the U.S. Senate in 1894, he spent the next two years as editor of the
