Democrat Letter Signals Prohibition Stand in Iowa
A Bryan letter to Iowas Democratic central committee member Kennington urges a party stance against liquor interests in choosing a national committeeman. He argues laws favor prohibition, pressing the party to endorse moral action in state conventions and in voting on a constitutional prohibition amendment. The letter, expected to shape a battle line at the April 24 committee meeting, favors a dry candidate over a pro liquor one for national committeeman.
