North Dakota Democrats Back Bryan Kern Platform Endorsements
The North Dakota Democratic State Committee reaffirmed loyalty to the national platform from Denver and endorsed William J. Bryan for president with John W. Kern for vice president. They praise Governor John Burke, demand tariff revision and banking regulation, advocate direct senatorial elections, tax equity for utilities, and improved roads, while urging enforcement of laws and unity over party politics. The platform cites Jefferson and independence, condemns corporate influence, and calls for constitutional amendments to expand state power and accountability.
