Bryan to Prepare Platform at Democratic Convention
Baltimore June 24. General opinion holds that Bryan will serve as chairman of the resolutions committee or act as its representative for his state. He is expected to prepare most of the platform, with some saying much of it is already written. Expect strong planks for income tax, direct election of senators, and primaries, with a tariff for revenue and rapid downward revision on trusts. Some worry over Initiative and Recall but Bryan is not advocating radical changes.
