Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ahakoa o raatau rereketanga mo te kaupapa here a iwi ke, i tautoko a Bryan i te kaupapa reanga a Wilson i te tau 1916. Ahakoa kāore ia i tae atu hei māngai mana, i tae atu ia ki te 1916 Democratic National Convention
i whakamutua ōna ake ture kia āhei ai a Bryan ki te kōrero ki te huihuinga; I tuku a Bryan i tētahi kōrero i tino manakohia, i kaha te tiaki i te rekoata ā-whare a Wilson. I mahi a Bryan hei kaitono mo te kaupapa mo Wilson i te kaupapa 1916, e tuku ana i nga korero maha, ko te nuinga o nga hunga whakarongo ki te hauauru o te awa o Mississippi. I te mutunga, ka kaha te wikitoria a Wilson ki te kaitono Republican, a Charles Evans Hughes. I te tomokanga o te United States ki te Pakanga Tuatahi o te Ao i te Paenga-whāwhā 1917, ka tuhituhi a Bryan ki a Wilson, "I te whakapono ko te mahi a te tangata whenua ki te kawe i tana waahanga o te kawenga o te pakanga me tana waahanga o te morearea, ka tukuna atu e au aku ratonga ki te Kawanatanga. Tena koa whakauruhia ahau hei tangata takitahi i nga wa katoa e hiahiatia ana ahau, ka tohaina mai ki ahau tetahi mahi ka taea e au. " I whakakahore a Wilson ki te whakatu i a Bryan ki tetahi tuunga a te kawanatanga, engari i whakaae a Bryan ki te tono a Wilson kia tautoko te iwi mo te pakanga ma ana korero me ana tuhinga. Whai muri i te pakanga, ahakoa he ruarua nga korero, i tautoko a Bryan i te kaha o Wilson ki te kawe i te United States ki roto i te League of Nations.
