Hisgen and GravesNominated by Independence Party at Chicago Convention
The Independence party at its first national convention in Chicago named Thomas L Hisgen of Massachusetts for president with John Temple Graves of Georgia as vice president. The Bryan name was shouted and nearly caused a riot as J J Shepard of Kansas tried to place it before the delegates. Three ballots were needed to choose Hisgen amid fierce opposition and a split roll call. Graves was nominated unanimously. The new platform calls for a central government bank, recall and referendum, direct nominations, anti-corruption laws, tariff revision, railroad reforms, Asiatic labor exclusion, a parcels post, naval strength, and inland-waterway improvements.
