		William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925), the man who would have been president, served as President Wilson's Secretary of State following the former's presidential victory in 1912, a position Bryan retained until his resignation in June 1915 over Wilson's handling of the sinking of the Lusitania.
		Bryan favoured a ban on American citizens travelling upon belligerent nations' shipping, and argued against the granting of loans to Britain and France; in this he was at odds with his president.
