Ryan Money Ousts Bryans Relative As Nebraska Chairman
Thomas F. Allen, brother-in-law of William J. Bryan, resigned as Democratic State Central Committee chair amid criticism over handling of 15 000 to 20 000 dollars from New York in the 1904 Bryan campaign. Allen asserted he received 15 000, not in New York, and did not meet Belmont, Ryan, or Sheehan. Bryan supported Allen's absolution after initial disputes and touted favorable national campaign funding responses as Democratic strength grows ahead of Nebraska politics. Bryan planned to address supporters in Lincoln as parties prepare for his notification event with large volunteer groups.]
