for certain principle which he re-
CARDS as right. He is a candidate
because he feels that he has drawn
his sword and consecrated his life
to that fight; and finally because
he considers that the banner under
which he fights, though deserted
by all except the old guard, is the
real and only genuine banner of
the cause.
This man is campaigning in his
state to beat Bryan. Why?
Because Bryan has deserted
what he knew was right in 1892.
He has gone over and tried to take
the party over, to Wall street."
That is a sin which Watson does
not forgive; treason to he cause.
Many people give Bryan credit
for sincerity. Not so Watson. He
has known Bryan now for nearly
20 years. He knew him when both
were populists. Both supported
Weaver, and both subscribed to
the principles of the Omaha plat
form. In the opinion of Watson,
Bryan was either not sincere in
1892 or he is not so now.
When the standard of populism
fell, it was taken up by Watson.
For the past II years he has sus-
tanned it almost single handed.
Four years ago he was the party's
candidate; and today he makes the
fight again.
The things Watson finds impor-
tant in this campaign are:
THE defeat of Bryan, because
he has deserted principle and
made terms with any influence or
person who will help him win.
THE defeat of Bryan, because
Bryan's victory would be regarded
by the negroes in the south as
step toward their recognition in
the south as social and political
equals of the whites.
THE defeat Of Bryan, because
Bryan regards the south as po-
litical asset, certain to be deliv-
cred to the candidate who gets the
nomination" The south, Watson
thinks, would be better with two
white mems parties.
THE defeat of Bryan, because
he no longer stands for OpnOSitiOn
to a private monopoly Of the ma
tons banking business.
The defeat of Bryan, because
he has deserted his former faith
in free silver and in money issued
only by the government.
The defeat of Bryan, because
he has allied himself with Roger
Sullivan, Charles Murphy, William
H. Haskell, Fingy Connors and the
corrupt influences for which they
stand.
THE defeat of Bryan, because
he helped to betray the peoples
party in 1896.
THE defeat of Bryan, because
he is a political trust"

populist candidate because he ex-
poets to win. The populist party is
now hardly more than memory.
The socialists will poll twice as
many votes. He is not a candidate
because he hopes or expects that
the party will win four years
hence, or eight or IL years from
now. He is not a candidate be-
cause he thinks being such will
put him in line for some other COW

in any manner. He has figured
