Mehanic's and l-arminor TAAU M—•—S fl berg Populists Nominate the Georgia Man for President FRIENDS OF BRYAN BOLT Nebraska and Minnesota Delegations, Finding Themselves Beaten, Walk Out of Convention. it Louis, April 4.—For president of the tfnited States, Thomas B. Wat sdfr of Georgia. For vice president of the United States, Samuel Williams of Indiana. #he above ticket was nominated by the People's Party convention, after too stormy sessions throughout which the Nebraska and Minnesota delega tions, working in the interest of Will lam J. place Bryan, strove desperately to Mag about an adjournment of the ebnvention until after nominations had keen made by the Democratic and Re fitoblloaa parties. Hopelessly outnum bered and without any chance what ever of gaining their object, the Ne braska iiien fought desperately to the )Mt, and when Jay W. Forrest of Al- N. Y.,mo'unted theplatform to Watson in nomination ttiey with drew from the convention, attended by the Minnesota delegation, which con sisted, however, of only onewan, T. J, Weigham. If Bryan is nominated at Denver the men who walked out of the convention here will support THOMAS E. WAT80N. him and they declare that the Popu lists of Nebraska will do so to a man. At the morning session the Nebras ka men made decided headway. They filibustered cleverly and with a knowl edge of parliamentary procedure that several times threw the convention In to fearful snarls. They fought long and bard to have Temporary Chairman Jacob S. Coxey of Ohio made perma nent chairman, not because of any af fection they bore him, but because tftey believed that they could tangle him up and in that way stand off Un nominations. Coxey, who is a genial, easy-going presiding officer, begged $ein to allow him to withdraw, but they fought for him against his will. They were beaten^ how ever, and George A. Honnecic er of Jersey City was made permanent chairman. Honnecker was not in sympathy with the Bryan ele ment, and he was not a chairman of the Coxey brand. He is a big man With a bigger voice, and he fights. His rulings were fair, but he would not be bluffed or bullied and he "talked back" in vigorous style to the Ne braska men when they attacked him.
