Bryan's Death Shakes Up Democratic Leadership Prospects
The death of William Jennings Bryan prompts Washington Democrats to reassess the party's future. Without a clear successor to Bryan or Wilson, factions fear renewed tensions. A quartet of figures—John W. Davis, James M. Cox, William G. McAdoo, and Al Smith—are discussed as potential leaders, though none seem suited to unite the party. Three years remain before a national nomination, with organizational work likely to shape any emerging figure.
