Davis and Bryan Clinch Democratic Nomination at 103rd Ballot
The 103rd ballot at the Democratic National Convention in New York named John W. Davis of West Virginia as the presidential candidate and Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska as vice president after a 16 day fight. Alabama backed Underwood early, but Davis gained support as delegates shifted to the bandwagon, finishing the longest convention ballot in history. The platform debates over the Ku Klux Klan and League of Nations dominated long sessions, with Bryan leading the push for a strong stand on religious liberty while the party narrowly avoided naming the Klan.
