Bryan and reform calls energize Democratic primaries
The piece argues for reform minded candidates and a strong Bryan influence in state legislatures to secure loyal pledges and future U S Senate picks. It condemns matrimonial swindles and urges effective legal action, while noting Bryan’s narrow path at the Denver convention amid anti Bryan sentiment.
Mr Bryans Purposes Reported From Washington
Washington sources say two radical ideas are under consideration by William Jennings Bryan and allies. One would drop the two thirds rule after the Denver nomination to allow simple majority selections in future conventions. The other would extend Bryan’s influence to nominate strong Democrats for state and county offices and legislatures.
