Charles W. Bryan

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia


Charles Wayland Bryan (February 10, 1867 – March 4, 1945) was an American politician and the 20th and 23rd Governor of Nebraska. He also served as the Mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska, and was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1924.

Early Life and Education

Charles W. Bryan was born in Salem, Illinois, and moved with his family to Nebraska in his youth. Details about his early education are not extensively documented, but he grew up in a politically active environment; his brother, William Jennings Bryan, was a prominent figure in American politics.

Political Career

Charles W. Bryan began his political career in local politics, serving as the Mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska. His tenure as mayor was marked by his efforts to improve public utilities and infrastructure.

In 1922, Bryan was elected as the Governor of Nebraska, a position he held from 1923 to 1925. During his first term, he focused on issues such as education, agricultural development, and state governance reform. He was defeated in his re-election bid in 1924 but was re-elected in 1930 and served until 1935. His second stint as governor was during the Great Depression, and he worked on relief efforts and economic recovery programs.

In the 1924 presidential election, Charles W. Bryan was the running mate of John W. Davis, the Democratic presidential candidate. They were defeated by the Republican candidates, Calvin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes.

Later Life and Legacy

After his political career, Bryan remained active in various business and community activities in Nebraska. He passed away in Lincoln, Nebraska, on March 4, 1945.

Charles W. Bryan's political legacy is often overshadowed by that of his brother, William Jennings Bryan, but he made significant contributions to the state of Nebraska, particularly in terms of his leadership during the economic challenges of the 1930s.
