People's Party formed in Cincinnati with free silver drive
The convention in Cincinnati launched the People's Party of the United States, pledging unlimited paper money and land reform, denouncing national banks, and calling for sub treasuries. Delegates adopted a platform favoring government ownership of railways and telegraphs, direct presidential votes, and a February 1908 national conference. A California Prohibitionist's resolution prompted a row, but the party named a national committee and moved toward a June convention.
