Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ahakoa o rātau rerekētanga i runga i te kaupapa here ā-waho, i tautoko a Bryan i te pakanga pōti anō a Wilson i te tau 1916. Ahakoa kihai ia i tae atu hei karere mana, ko te
1916 Ka whakamutua e te Democratic National Convention ona ake ture kia ahei ai a Bryan ki te korero ki te huihuinga; I tukuna e Bryan tetahi korero i manakohia e kaha te tiaki i te rekoata a Wilson i te kaainga. 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.
