Bryan Leads Dry Faction In 1924 Democratic Fight
Washington June 5 William J Bryan would lead the drive for a dry democratic party at the 1924 convention backed by McAdoo forces. He may push a dry plank then trade delegates to McAdoo. Ford could enter with delegates but align with McAdoo on many issues. Deadlock seems likely and a backroom compromise may nominate a non fanatic pro law enforcement candidate. Local autonomy on enforcing the Volstead act would be urged amid a party split across regions and states.
