THE COMMONER, Lincoln, Nebraska, February 22, 1901
* By famed attorney & politician William Jennings Bryan
As noted at the top of the first column: "William J. Bryan, Editor & Proprietor". This is the volume 1, number 5 issue.
Bryan was an unsuccessful Democratic Presidential nominee in 1896, 1900 and 1908. He was a strong supporter of Prohibition in the 1920s, and energetically attacked Darwinism and evolution, most famously at the Scopes Trial in 1925. Five days after winning the case but getting bad press, he died in his sleep.
A great wealth of political reporting with articles headed: "The Representative's Duty" "By What Authority?" "Let the Legislatures Act" "The Influence of the Press" "Then and Now" "The Root of All Evil" and so much more.
Eight pages, 11 by 14 inches, various edge tears with some archival mends to interior pages.
