Bryan Evises Democratic Candidates For Presidency
Lincoln Neb June 22 W J Bryan in The Commoner argues McAdoo is handicapped by his ties to the President and silence on the peace treaty while Wilson is not a candidate. Bryan says McAdoo has wage earner support but would be easy for enemies of the President to attack. He notes Hoover is not available and Owen and Meredith among few others. A candidate must back woman suffrage prohibition and oppose Wall Street. Palmer is seen as unfortunate for backing ratification without reservations. Clark has state backing. Edwards Cox opposition persists.
