Ohio Democrats forecast a Packers-like battleground year
The Democratic central committee meeting in Columbus signals a buoyant, unified push for the June 12–18 state convention and a likely strong campaign in Ohio. Attendees cite anti imperialistic sentiment, attacks on Porto Rico, and a drive to derail McKinley’s presidency as rallying undercurrents. Debates over delegates and the platform mirror a tense preconvention atmosphere as Bryan’s Detroit visit underscored the party’s mobilization.
