Bryan Speaks as Dry Plank Rally Draws Major Protest
In San Francisco on July 2 William Jennings Bryan delivered a fiery pro dry plank address at the Democratic convention. His tears and rhetoric spurred a spontaneous, ven- title demonstration that tore up state standards including California and Alabama and sent a moving column of delegates through the hall. Amid clashes and shouted orders, Chairman Robinson restored order after 23 minutes of protest. Benator Glass then introduced Bainbridge Colby who attacked Bryan on the league of nations and the treaty, urging ratification with reservations as the convention resumed.
