Bryan Attacks Davis On Convention Floor At Madison Square Garden
On June 9 at Madison Square Garden William Jennings Bryan openly fought Davis on the convention floor during the nineteenth ballot. He urged Mississippi delegates not to back Davis, arguing La Follette will draw more votes from Davis than from Republicans, while Davis backers pressed for a new poll. The debate remained intense yet orderly as McAdoo interests and northern delegates weighed loyalties amid a razor thin Mississippi split. In Mozambique, Lisbon reports the high commissioner will annul land concessions not cultivated, signaling a broad effort to enforce cultivation in Portuguese V history.
