nation rendered by Populists.


Duluth Mimi, Aug. S.-Charles y
Towne has formally withdrawn from
the Populist national ticket. In a let
ter to the notification committee he de-
clines the nomination for vice presi

Everybody knows that either Mr.
Stevenson or Mr.. Roosevelt is to be the
next vice president Of the United
States. | am expected to take labor
ious part in the campaign. | shall, OF
course, advocate the election of Bryan
and Stevenson. The Democratic con
vention, before which | was n candi-
date, nominated Bryan and Stevenson
The silver Republican party, of which
organization | was the official head for
nearly four years, nominated Bryan
and Stevenson. In what light should
appear" before the American people If.
while advocating the election of one
ticket, | should be going through the
form Of running on another? Nobody
In the United States would think
had the slightest chance of being.elect-
ed, and nobody would believe that l
considered myself seriously as can
didate unless ut the same time he be-
lieved me to be absolutely lacking in
common sense"
His letter concludes with this trib-
ute to the Democratic leader:
",The leadership of Bryan, which
could have redeemed a bad platform,
sanctfied good one. 1t made memoir
able an unsuccessful contest. 1t will
crown victory with imperishable
sDlendOr"
