lola, Kan, Sept. H.-Tom Watson,
populist vice presidential candidate,
spoke here Friday to an audience
Of 1000 people. His address was made
at the fair grounds in rainstorm. He
said he was the only representative
which the peoples party now has on a
national ticket. If he was removed
Bryan would lose Texas, Tennessee and
Kentucky, at least. To take him off the
ticket would split the silver party and
elect Mckinley. He was bitter in his de-
nunciation of Mr.. Sewall. Mr.. Watson
said also that Chairman Jones received
letter from Sewall at the time of the
populist convention intimating that he
would step down and out whenever it
was to Bryan's best interest. The fact
that the letter was published recently
would indicate that that time had come.
