Willaim J Bryan?

Correct (except for spelling : ) ).  503 total from 1896, 1900 and 1908. I think Bob Dole is second on the list.

RMN:  1939 total EV's

FDR:  2033 total EV's

FDR's wins were larger, though it is close in overall EV's.  Had FDR not run for VP, it would have been Nixon.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Which president was willing to resign if he lost relection?

Wilson?

Yep. Wilson, being a (evil?) genius, thought that the wait between Election Day and Inauguration Day was too long, so he was going to appoint Hughes as Secretary of State, then he and his VP would resign immediately, making Hughes president earlier.

Bump: Wouldn't that have made the Speaker president, or did that come about with the 25th Amendment?

The succession is defined by act and the current one dates from 1947, the succession act in place when Wilson was president, that of 1886 omitted the Speaker and PPT.  Before the 1886 act, the cabinet was not in the line of succession.  The 1886 act was passed because after Garfield died on 1881 and Hendricks died in 1885, there were periods of time when no one was in the line of succession.  The previous succession act provided for the PPT, followed by the Speaker to serve as Acting President until a special election could be held to select a new President and Vice President for a full four year term.  Imagine if you will that when Lincoln was assassinated Atzerodt had gone through with his part of the plot and killed the Vice President.  Then Lafayette S. Foster would have become Acting President with a new election held that November to swear in a new President in March 1866.  The next presidential election would thwn have been that of 1869, not 1868 and until steps were taken to fix it, Presidential elections would not have held in conjunction with Congressional elections.
