Day Before Convention Marked by Bryan Momentum and Party Pacts
Denver July 7 The last strenuous day before the Democratic national convention featured a surge of Bryan support seen as overwhelming and likely to secure the nomination for the Nebraskan. While vice presidential plans remained unresolved, Pennsylvania factions clashed over leadership with Colonel James M. Guffey retained as national committeeman. New York laid groundwork for its platform team selecting Judge Alton B. Parker, while the DNC discharged McCarren’s New York challenges and seated Roger Sullivan’s Illinois delegation. The scene mixed noisy demonstrations with steady organizational work as states formed committees and preparatory talks dominated the day.
