last minute scurrying around for the Elmira Conference: does anyone have any thoughts regarding MT and William Jennings Bryan? This guy was quite the rhetorical savant; as one biographer put it, "[WJB] single-handedly kept liberalism alive in America" (this may blow your caricatures of Bryan, famously ruined in the film and drama, INHERIT THE WIND). Anyway, I know he claimed not to favor voting for Bryan in 1900-- any other evidence of MT commenting on Bryan? Harold K. Bush, Ph.D Saint Louis University
