Macon, Ga, Nov. 3.-Thomas r.
Watson, Populist candidate for Presi-

cheered vociferously as the speaker
clinched a point.
"The Democratic party stole my
platform and principles during two
campaigns" he said, under the lead
ership Of the brilliant Bryan. Now
the Bryan of today has swallowed
the Bryan of yesterday. He has
completely reversed himself and
