I am here, William Jennings Bryan.
I have watched with considerable care the unfolding of the American
drama, as power has been consolidated since my death in 1925. This
is the sort of process that can go no further. It has nowhere else
to go - but down.
Be not discouraged. Know that the Creator is not indifferent to
all this. There is a plan unfolding that will right the wrongs,
and for you to be sure about it, you must have faith.
William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was
an American lawyer, statesman, and politician. He was a three-time
Democratic Party nominee for President of the United States. One
of the most popular speakers in American history, he was noted for
his deep, commanding voice. Bryan was a devout Presbyterian, a strong
proponent of popular democracy, an outspoken critic of banks and
railroads, a leader of the silverite movement in the 1890s, a dominant
figure in the Democratic Party, a peace advocate, a prohibitionist,
an opponent of Darwinism, and one of the most prominent leaders
of Populism in late 19th- and early 20th century America. He was
called "The Great Commoner" because of his total faith
in the goodness and rightness of the common people. He was defeated
by William McKinley in the intensely fought 1896 election and 1900
election, but retained control of the Democratic Party. (Source
