New Point Raised Can Clerks Help Campaigns After Hours
New guidance on whether government clerks may assist after office hours surfaces as Democrats rely on volunteers to distribute literature, saving about 125 dollars daily. Officials largely say clerks may act freely, while some warn of possible future trouble. Populists plan Chicago and Washington branches, with Faulkner backing clerks’ rights and Silver Party coordinating western campaign efforts. Bryan visits Rhinebeck in social event with 800 locals praising ballot conscience.

Butler Defines Populist Lines on Fusion States
Chairman Butler of the Populist committee declares no official approval for fusion in any state. He says the national convention’s Bryan and Watson ticket must be loyally supported, with disaffection met by Populists who back the whole ticket. He adds that where Populists and Democrats fuse, electors must be divided equitably to honor both parties’ candidates.
