WHAT JERRY SIMPSON SAYS
Representative Jerry Simpson returned this
morning from the ST. Louis third party con-
veuti0n. cit WIS very much better c0nven-
tou be said this afternoon than hed eX-
uected We succeeded remarkably we'll IN
lamonzng the various pre- udices AMI IN
making short platform. The prohibition
and woman suffrage questions were too much
f.rus 90 carry 40 this time. Nearly every
State iu the Union was represented at the
convention.
"On tho Fourth of July. when we hold our
National Convention 10 nominate candidates
ior President and Nice-Iresldent every
State will be represented We shall put IL
strong ticket IN the field. and ! believe We
shall carry not Jess than four States Kansas,
Nebraska South Dakota and Minnesota.
I'VE win throw the election IN the House If
we do not elect the President ourselves. The
labor organizations will be with us. and we
shall poll very large vote. IN the South we
shall draw from tho Democrats. but IN the
North and West more largely from the Repub-
licaus so tina, it will about even up the losses
between the two old parties
As to the candidates Mr. Simpson said that
he Thought General Weaver. of Iowa, would
be nominated for the presidency; that II
would certainly be either Weaver or Donnelly.
