Towne Refuses Silver Republicans Support at Convention
The Silver Republican national convention in Kansas City adjourned without nominating a vice president after a heated day. W. J. Bryan was unanimously nominated for president. Charles A. Towne was pressured to accept the VP spot but declined, and the nomination was deferred to the national committee. Delegates debated endorsing Bryan and Stevenson or Towne, with Towne eventually appearing and urging restraint. The hall erupted in cheers and conferees moved to reconvene for further action.
