Bryan's Chance for 1900 Presidency Seen Strong
The article argues Bryan has excellent odds for the 1900 presidential race while McKinley is said to have a "sure thing." It notes that 34,000 votes in key states in 1896 could have swung the presidency to Bryan, with small ballot shifts in four southern and two northern states altering outcomes. The piece cites state-by-state plurality figures in Kentucky, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, California, and Indiana to illustrate how close the race could be. Circumstances have since shifted in Bryan's favor.
