| Abstract: | Bryan reports that as his office in the Senate Annex is next to Senator Davis, he brought the Independent's article on Davis in to the Senator who was pleased with it and sent it to a member of his family. Bryan recommends sending Davis a complimentary copy of the publication. Bryan, a writer and a lecturer himself, served as a Representative from Nebraska (1891-95) and a colonel in the Spanish-American War; after unsuccessful runs for President in 1896, 1900, and 1908 he served as Wilson's Secretary of State (1913-15) and also established the Nebraska newspaper The Commoner (1901). |
