Bryan Won't Seek Nebraska Delegate Vote
Lincoln February 9 William Jennings Bryan will not be a candidate for delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Nebraska. He will not permit his name to go before voters as a candidate for President. Gilbert M Hitchcock may run for President from Nebraska, petitions for Bryan on the primary ballot circulate. The news surprised many Democrats and "wets" hoped Bryan would enter to oppose Hitchcock. Bryan's hand will not be shown in the primary, leaving Democrats to vote as they choose. Hitchcock's health makes his candidacy unlikely, though Omaha reports suggest his name may be used as Nebraska's favorite son.
