Populists Nominate Full Ticket In Iowa Fall Campaign
At Des Moines and Creston the Populist state convention named a full slate endorsing the Omaha platform and favoring state or national liquor traffic control. Prohibition pledged against local option or license, nominating L. Coffin for governor and J. M. Joseph, R. Ott, A. W. Weeks, J. A. Gray, and Mrs. Withrow for key offices. The Republicans split from their party and nominated Coffin as well, while denouncing the pro prohibition plank.
