Bryan Defends Deserving Democrats in Santo Domingo Ethics Row
Bryan proclaims no shame over the so called deserving Democrats letter. The offices involved were temporary trusteeships in Santo Domingo to benefit the people, not ordinary spoils. They should be filled by capable officials, not partisan sway, to preserve U S credibility and future negotiations. Bryan’s critique centers on Wilson, not Hughes, and the defense rests with Wilson’s own actions.
