Morton Attacks Bryan Over Panama Toll Plank
In a special nugget service report from Washington on May 16, Morton accuses Bryan of approving the free tolls exemption plank in the platform. He claims the plank was discussed by the committee and inserted by interested parties without the platform committee’s sanction. Bryan is tied to the Baltimore convention and to the House approval of free tolls. Wilson's circle resents the idea that the tolls issue is party politics.
