"I have just found your favor of last winter among my accumulated mail and thank you for your expressions of good will. I thank you for your invitation to lecture, but I cannot promise so far ahead. You had better write to me next winter again and I can then see what arrangements we can make."
William Jennings Bryan was an American lawyer, orator, and politician. He was a dominant force in the Democratic Party, running three times as the party's nominee for President of the United States in the 1896, 1900, and 1908 elections. He served in the House of Representatives from 1891 to 1895 and as the secretary of state under Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1915.
"The Commoner" was a weekly newspaper published in Lincoln, Nebraska, from 1901 to 1923 that was owned, edited, and published by Bryan. A political paper that impacted a great deal of public opinion on critical matters, Bryan founded the paper in order to support the rights and liberties of American citizens.
