1948 election
editI can find no citation that Dorn ran in the 1948 Senate election. Did he challenge the highly-popular Murbank in the primary? Because Murbank ran un-opposed in the General Election. AllanJ (talk) 13:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
no relation
editIt seems likely, but not clear, from the article that he is not actually related to his namesake William Jennings Bryan - can someone confirm that in the article? -- stillnotelf is invisible 01:25, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
I'd be interested, too. Seems like something that should be addressed. --A2Kafir (and...?) 16:38, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Segregationist
editIt's odd that this is excluded:
Barber, Marching on Washington (2002), p. 153. "Segregationists and black nationalists launched scathing criticisms of the Kennedy administration for its support. For rabid segregationist Representative W.J. Bryan Dorn, a Democrat from South Carolina, the absurdity was that 'for the first time in the history of our Nation . . . the Federal government has itself encouraged a "march on Washington."'" 64.134.64.4 (talk) 19:18, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
