Editor in Politics

This volume, rich in its first-hand knowledge of men and events, begins with the years of Cleveland's second administration, covers the meteoric rise of Bryan, and ends with Josephus Daniels's appointment as secretary of the navy under Wilson. Among the more dramatic incidents in the book is the account of the Democratic National Convention of 1896, in which Bryan was a key candidate.
