Democrats Name Davis and Bryan For Ticket
The Democratic National Convention selected John W. Davis of West Virginia for President and Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska for Vice President after a prolonged balloting that set a record for long deadlock. The convention, amid high drama and noisy demonstrations, settled on the ticket as Alabama’s votes pushed Davis past 60 on the 104th roll call.
