Iopulist party. addressed Labor day
audience of 5000 people at the fair
grounds yesterday. He pleaded with the
people To stand TO the contract between
the laborers and farmers in st. Louis
In 1889 and the Peoples party, which
represents that contract.
The Georgian reviewed the platform
demands of his party, and the condi-
tions which created the demands. Con-
tinuing, he said: MIR. Sewal repre-
scnts that element In the Democratic
party which Is exerting itself TO the ut
most to tie Bryaa's hands. so that he
cannot carry out his contract 1t can
not be done with Bryan and Sewall be-
cause you cannot have Bryan and Sew
all. Mr.. Sewall cannot carry his own
family Whenever my own son takes
the stump and begins 70 make speeches
against me, like Mr. Sewalrs son is do
ing against him, l will get off the ticket
and crawl under the bed and hide my
sclf. Mr.. Sewall cannot carry the ward
in which he lives lie cannot carry the
town In which he lives He is a wart on
the party. He is a knot on the log. He
IS dead weight 20 the ticket. Every
man ought TO know that IL Mr.. Bryan is
10 be elected, he wlll be elected by the
votes which the Peoples party gives
him. II he carries Nebraska. it will be
Tom Watson Populsts' who will carry
1t for him. II lie carries Kansas, 1t will
be the Populists who carry 1t for him.
II he carries Iowa, II will be the Popu-
lists who carry IL for him. If he carries
IA fuf Of ~ will n
Populists who VIII give II TO him. And
1 put IL to you. Democrats, IL you want
our votes. don't you think you ought to
'tole fair' with us?
"You say: Let's go into co-partner-
ship but you want to be both partners.
We'll, we want 20 fuse with you We don't
want to swallow you. and we don't in
terd that you shall swallow us. You
as'. us TO. take Watson off the ticket.
Why? Would you be so blind as 10 de-
feet Mr.. Bryan by taking Watson off his
ticket? Even in the height Of present
passion and prejudice. why would you
defeat Mr. Bryan by demanding that
Watson come Off the ticket. The moment
j got off the ticket there would be thou
sands of protests from the people who
would not consent to any such arrange
rneht. II Mr.. Rryan Is elected Democrats
must realize that IL cannot possibly be
done without the Populists vote. The
lopulists.have gone as far as they could
go. We went outside OF our party 10
give a Democrat the first place on our
ticket. We could not have gone fur
ther. No sclf-respecting Democrat could
have as.A d any more.
We done want to destroy the Peoples
party In this country III i came of the
ticket IT would mean the death of the
Populists party, II you are honest in de-
nanding silver legislation you should
not want the whole thing. Where would
the silver cause have been IN 1894 and in
1926 IL It had not been for the Peoples
party? ASK somebody else to kill the
Peoples party, but don't ask me. / sat

Your leaders have fooled us In the
