THE EVENING TELEGR.M, LAR ;. \x|, FLA., OCT. 24, 1912, AN APPRECIATION OF WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN (By Edgar DeWitt Joues) The greatest privilege of any gen- ' nature which, to finish the figure, is eration is its with a truly great and good man. Mot the least privilege of this gener- ation, as I seee it, is its contempora- ncousness with Mr. Bryan. Forty, fifty, sixty years hence to have heard Bryan will be ‘“‘glory enough” for many a grandfather who will tell the wondering lad on his kness of | ter week, and year after year. the great days when the eloquent Nebraskan was in the midst of his' thing just like Mr. extraordinary career. Mr. Bryan is today the most dom- inant single figure in American na- tiona, life. The politicians will de- ny this statement, but the people by the millions will give it hearty af- firmation. Unrivalled on the Platform After sixteen years of almost con- stant campaigning and public speak- ing tours such as no other American has equalled, no other man today can draw such vast audiences as Mr Bryan. Not even Wilson, the Schol- ar, nor Roosevelt, the Pictucresque nwor Beveridge, the Brilliant, nor Debs, the Daring, can so magnetize the millions. The crowds that flock to hear Mr. Bryan during the Chat- tauqua season indicate his deep hold on the masses. For one thing, they give the lie flatly to the statement one hears occasionally that the age of oratory is gone. A Bryan Day at Chautaupua is ““the great day of the feast.” The big crowd gathers early and patiently waits through heat | | i | contempraneousness | like the ocean in fulness of sweep (ludnn, noble appeal to man's bwt‘ and simple grandeur. Then pro- longed applause and further demon- stration; next the inevitable recep- tion, thousands shaking the hand of the tired, perspiring, but good-na- tured Mr. ryan. And this, day after day for every summer, and week af- The Lyceum bas never witnessed any- Bryan's great popular platform reign and probably never will again. Greater Goals than the Without reaching the presidency, Mr. Bryan has attained to a unique- ness and a fame that the presidency, great prize as it is, could not of it self, bestow. Twenty-seven men have become president of the United States, but only one man has im- pressed his personality on five con- secutive national conventions of a yreat historical political party, win- ning from three the o'clock in the morning another in which a majority of the delegates were hostile to his views, and dom- ating the fifth and last so com- plately as to shape the platform and ‘name the standard bearer after fight- ing to a finish the greatest ang best battle of his life. Mr. Bryan will not go down in history with Clay and \Webhster and Blaine. He belongs to a class apart and of which he is the oily member.

Ang the Bryan mouth—how the cartoonists love to draw it! The story is told thn Mrs. Bryan, the first time she w her future husband, asked to Le In'.rodu('ed to “that young man who can whisper in his ear.” Mr. Bryan's face and bold brow would attract attention anywhere. At Edinburgh, two years ago, at ‘the World Missionary C(onference, | thought Mr. Bryan the most distin- guished looking man in that assemb- ly of many distinguished and noble looking men. Mr. Bryan's demo- cratic tastes in clothes are well known to his countrymen. Uspally be speaks in a sack coat und trous- ers guiltless of creases. But in Ed- {nburgh, properly enough, he wore a silk hat, double breasted frock coat, finely striped and creased trous- ers and he carried a cane. 1 think every American there was exceed- ingly proud of “\. Jennings Bryan,” which is the way the Scotch newspa- | pers printed his name. A Great Voice i have h(--\rd four grent s]n.lkn" veices, whose music lingers in m ory. The late Father D. J.
