ALT1: ... that to run for president in 1896, William Jennings Bryan (pictured) traveled to 27 of the 45 states and gave some 600 speeches on a whistle-stop tour? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:14, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
No objection to the alt, I've changed one word.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:52, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
both fine, whatever fits a prep set better, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:02, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
