Bryan's Bomb in Democratic Camp Split on League Issue
The report combines a Webster Webster funeral for Harriet Roach with William Jennings Bryan's Jackson Day remarks. Bryan opposed delaying the league of nations issue, urged compromises or presenting it to the country, and outlined three new propositions including national peace avenues and bipartisan notes. He criticized Republicans for delaying ratification and urged the Democratic party to act on suffrage and prohibition while preserving constitutional rights. The piece ties local obituary details to national political discourse.
