Bryan, Dawes Fail in
1924 Try
In the presidential election of
1921 it was continually pointed
out the democratic candidate
for the \ iee-prosidenoy, Charles
Bryan, was from Nebraska It
was not so well publicized, or
widely known, that the candidate
for that office on the republican
ticket. Charles G. Dawes, also had
firm roots in Nebraska and could
well be called a Nebraskan
Mr. Dawes lived in Lincoln for
over seven years from the spring
of 1887 to January of 1895. lie
came to Nebraska at the age of
21 with a law degree, and the
desire to make a fortune, lie left
the state for Chicago, 111., in
1895 because his financial hold
ings had increased to the place
where it seemed advisable that
he be closer to the financial cen
ter to administer them.
‘Gone West’
In coming to Lincoln, Dawes
had heeded the popular advice of
the "gone west” to make his
start. He later remarked that in
this hi* had made a mistake He
said. "When I got here, there
were gathered some of the
brighest young men of the East,
all of whom had come under the
same circumstances and with the
same aspirations as I I could
have done better had I gone to
an Eastern or larger Midwestern
city. There would not have been
the same relative competition.
Here, there were seven men for
every dollar; I could have gone
where there were seven dollars
for every man.” Dawes was one
of a group of brilliant men who
graced Lincoln society in the
late 1880’s and early ’90’s. While
they may have made for stiff
competition in the financial field,
they made a challenging and
stimulating group of acquaint
anees at the time and mends
over the next half century. A
mong Dawes' friends were Wil
liam Jennings Bryan and John
J. Pershing.
Makes Million
While he came to make a for
tune and succeeded so well that
he was reckoned a millionaire
by the time he left Lincoln in
less than 10 years, Mr. Dawes
started his career in Lincoln with
a famous suit in the public in
terest for which he asked or re
ceived no compensation. This
was in the Freight Rate contro
versy in which he represented
the Lincoln Board of Trade in a
fight against high railroad rates.
In the midst of the struggle Daw
es was so involved with this case
that his father was sending him
$50 a month to live on.
