Bryan era notes and temperance talk stir Indiana politics
The piece discusses reactions to William Jennings Bryan amid Democratic flirtations with John Mitchell as a running mate, arguing Mitchell is too strong for such temptation and predicting he won’t be nominated for vice president. It expands to a Princeton Tribune jab at Indiana temperance advocates and a Bristol Tennessee saloon tale of Jerry Miller who, upon inheriting $2,000,000, gave away his saloon and vowed not to drink again.
