By famed attorney & politician William Jennings Bryan...

Item # 716284 ·
THE COMMONER, Lincoln, Nebraska, June 16, 1905  As noted just under the title: "William J. Bryan, Editor & Proprietor". 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 plus non-political content as well. Complete in 16 pages, 11 by 14 inches, various small edge tears generally good condition.
