Bryan Letter to Belmont on Jefferson Birthday Debate
A long communication from W. J. Bryan to the Associated Press includes his refusal to attend a Jefferson birthday event hosted by Perry Belmont and the Democratic Club of New York. He cites that opposing views on Chicago platform principles and Jeffersonian democracy would make harmony at the banquet inappropriate and defers discussion to the speakers themselves. Belmont replies defending the club and positions, while Bryan reiterates his stance that party unity would suffer from differing principles.

A fragmented editorial excerpt portrays a clash within a democratic body over Jeffersonian celebration of the party’s anniversary.

The fragment hints at internal tensions and calls for democratic control.
