LINCOLN, Ncb., Sept 17.-Congress-
man Thomas Watson addressed an au'
dicncc Of 1000 people at the Lansing
thca,er yesterday afternoon. Watson
said that In accepting the nomination
Of the peoples party for the office OF
vice president OF the United States hc
had been given n plain duty to per-
form. He should remain on the ticket
and carry forward the burden OF that
duty until the end OF the fight on the
night OF November g. lie said the re-
cent election in Vermont and Maine
had conclusivcly proved that the
money power prevailed in the north
and east. The east could not win
alone; neither could the south. Only
by mnssing the forces OF each was tho
election of Bryan possible. There was
great danger that Bryan would be be-
trayed in the house OF his alleged
friends. "Do you know" he asked,
"who has been selected as the eastern
man, and friend Of the banks and the
money power? German Is trying TO
bctray the party of Bryan, and to-day,
acting under the dictates OF the mon
eyed interests, they are preparing to
tic his hands," He urged NIL his hear
ers to remember that Bryan would owe
any success that he might have to the
populist party, and that 1t was the
peoples independent party that had
compelled the democrats 10 adopt the
Chicago platform.
