The committee on credentials presented
a report declaring that there were NJ
contesting delegations. The committe,
on permanent organization reported
Thomas M. Patterson, of Colorado, fo1
permanent chairman; 7. H. Curran O.
i, Kansas, Lee Vincent of Colorado and E
M. Deisher of Pennsylvania as perma.
| nent secretaries.
Mr.. Patterson was greeted with vo.
ciferous cheers. "The school of Hamil.
ton, the school of doubling the ability
of the people to govern themselves,
said Patterson, completely dominates
the councils of both the Democratic and
the Republican parties. The Peoples
party was constituted to restore the
landmark of our fathers, to take UP the
struggle where the Democratic party
had left off, to prove that these people
are capable of self-government, and
that laws should be made for the people
and by the people, and to protect the
rights which the mere existence of an
individual conferred on him. We never
surrendered our rights as party" he
declared, "by nominating Bryan"
Rounds of alpi.,use greeted the
speakers denunciation of imperialism
the heavy increase of the standing
army and wars of conquest, and his
comparison of the Republican, Demo-
cratic and Populist platforms brought
many delegates to their feet $50 dom
inant has the spirit of the Populist be-
come in the Democratic party" said the
speaker, "that the party does not take
issue with single principle advanced
by the Omaha or the st. Louis plat
forms. The Republican party takes is
sue with every vital question in the
Populist platform. The Peoples party
must and shall live, for it is the pioneer
of every political reform that by the
consensus of American opinion is essen
tial to American free government.
I'VE will go before the country as we
went before, with the principles we al
ways professed, and under the leader
ship of William j. Bryan" (Cheers.)
The speaker predicted sweeping tri-
umph for Bryan in November, and that
the rights of the people will be ad-
vanced to higher level than ever be-
fore. Long continued applause greeted
the chairman as he sat down.
