Dan R. Gilbert reflects on the recent political outcomes and informs Roosevelt of his “first funeral,” although William Jennings Bryan has been buried three times and still lives. He argues that a principal will live, whereas a theory may die. Gilbert hopes to see the day when the will of the people will rule in practice, not theory.
