DALLAS, Tex, Sept. s.-Thomas T..
Watson, Of Georgia. vice presidential
nominee Of the Populist party addressed
Labor Day audience of 5000 people at
the fair grounds yesterday. He arrived
Sunday night direct from Georgia, ac-
companied by National Committeeman
Reed who Is managing his tour Watson
speaks at Benham, Tex, today, and goes
from there to Kansas.
Watson plead with the people to stand
by the contract between laborers and farm
ers in St. Louis in 1889 and tho Peoples
party, who represent that contract.
mckinley and Hobart represent the
enemies Of labor and Sewall represents the
same thing" he said. "Sewall is just the
opposite of Bryan in everything"
At the state convention of Texas Popu-
lists 1t was currently reported that deal
was made whereby the state offices should
be delivered to Populstsand the state car
ried for Mckinley. Without making direct
ing: Have no Mckinley; his election will
add to the burden now resting on labor.
'You feel insulted because Bryan did
not accept your nomination. Bryan is in
u peculiar position, and he acts as he
thinks necessary to do. The Populist no.
tiflcation committee has not done Its duty,
but have toe word of Senator Butler
that 1t will before Sept To- and l will
pledge you my word that Bryan will speak
out, and ho will accept Bryan can't throw
away 800 900 votes. He will accept me rs o
running mate. If he does not the ticket
will never be elected Sewall brings the
party no votes; he drives them away.
"Mr. Sewall represents that element in
the Democratic party which Is oxertlng
itself to the utmost to tie Bryan's hands
so that he cannot carry out his contract.
1t cannot be done with Bryan and Sewall,
because you can't have Bryan and Sew
ALL Mr. Sewall cannot carry his own fun
lily. Whenever my own son takes the
stumpnnd begins to make speeches against
me, like Mr. Sewall son Is doing against
him, will get off the ticket and crawl
under the bed and hide myself He cannot
carry the town In which no lives. He
cannot carry the state In which he lives
He is a wart on the party. He Is knot
on the log He is dead weight to the
ticket.
Every man ought to know that If Mr..
Bryan is to be elected he will be elected
by the votes which the Peoples party give
him. If he carries Nebraska, where he
lives, 1t will be tho Tom Watson Populists
who carry it for him. If he carries Iowa
it will be the Populists who carry it for
him. II he carries the great state of
Texas it will bo the Populists who gave it
to him And put 1t to you, Democrats,
If you want our votes don't you think
you ought to 'to be fair with usY You say:
Let's go into copartnership, but you
want to bo both partners.
"Why, even in that kind of copartner-
ship they should remember that there is
rule of law which says that man and wife
are one, but it takes two to make the bar
gain, and yet you Democrats, who cannot
get along without our 100000 votes, say
that our partnership ought to consist of
the same two partners and you want to be
both Well, we want to fuse with you.
We don't want to swallow you, and we
don't intend that you shall swallow us.
You ask us to take Watson off the ticket.
Whyf Would you be 80 blind as to defeat
Mr.. Bryan by taking Watson off his ticket1
"If should get off the ticket instead Of
Sewall, would kill the Peoples party and
l would stamp myself as coward and q
traitor. won't got off My party has put
me on guard, and you may run over me,
but you will have to fight first.
MIR Bryan said in Now York in q public
speech that candidate running upon q
platform should not only indorso every
plank in that platform, but should in
dorse every sentence and every word of it,
Apply that rule to Mr.. Sewall and Mr..
Sewall would get off while l stopped on.
Mr.. Bryan must have meant that. Let him
deny it If he did not. That construction
has been put on it by Democrats 1t is
the only construction that can be put on
it. Mr.. Sewall does not stand squarely
on the platform. Let Sewall scoot and
Watson arrive.'
