THOS. {. WATSON
FOR PRESIDENT
POPULIsT NATIONAL CoNvEN-
TION AT ST. LOUIS NoMINATEs
HIM To HEAD THE TICKET.

ST. Louis. Mo-. April 4.-For
president OF the United States
Thomas e. Watson. OF Georgia.
For vice president of .he United
States-.Samuel Williams. OF Indi-
The foregoing ticket was nomi-
ana.
mated yesterday by the Peoples par
ty convention.
After two stormy sessions, during
which the Nebraska and Minnesota
delegations bolted because they
could not procure a postponement OF
the convention until after the nomi-
nations had been made by the DEM
ocratic convention so that the Peo,
Pies party might nominate w. ].
Bryan for president IL he were de-
feated at the Democratic convention.
The platform. after setting forth
that the government has been con-
trolled so as to place the rights of
property above the rights of hu-
manity and that financial committee
oy nations have exerted too much
power over congress, gives the posi-
ton of the party on finance as fol-
lows:
The issuing OF money is a func-
uon or government and should not
be delegated to corporation or indi
vidual. The constitution gives To
congress alone the power to issue
money shall be issued by the gov
or. We therefore demand that all
money SHALL be issued by the gov
ernment direct to the people without
the intervention of banks and be a
full legal tender for all debts. pub
lie and private. and in quantities IN
supply the necessity of the country.
we demand that postal savings
banks be instituted for the savings
of the people"
Allen ownership of public lands
ls opposed, and lands now held by
aliens or by corporations which have
violated the conditions of their
grants should be restored to the
public domain.
Government ownership of rail-
roads Is urged on the grounds that
that policy would prevent unjust
determinations. Also that in order
TO perfect the postal service the gov
eminent should own and operate the
general telegraph systems and pro-
vide parcels post.
AS to those trusts and monopo-
lies which are not public utilities OF
natural monopolies, we demand that
those special privileges which they
now enjoy and which alone enable
them to exist, should be Immediate
ly Withdrawn. Corporations being
the creatures OF the government.
they should be subjected to such
governmental regulation and control
as will adequately protect the pub
lie. We demand the taxation of
monopoly privileges, while they re-
main In private hands, to the extent
OF tho value Of the privilege granted.
I'VE demand that congress shall
enact general law uniformly regu-
lating the powers and duties of all
Incorporated companies doing inter-
state business.
AS means OF placing all public
questions directly under the CONTROL
of the people we demand that legal
provision be made under which tho
people may exercise the initiative
referendum, and proportional repre-.
sentation and dicet vote for all pub
lie officers with the right OF recall.
We believe in the right OF those
who labor to organize for their mn
tual protection and benefit and er-
