Watson hailed as People's Savior in party dispute
Washington dispatch reports Senator Marion Butler, head of the Populist National Committee, notifying Thomas Watson as vice presidential nominee. The letter extols the 1890s People's party birth, its stance for silver coinage, and its clash with the Democratic party while praising Bryan Watson as a joint ticket emblem of reform and American interests. A separate crime note describes a burglary at Mrs. Toppin's home with money recovered from a cake box, and the assailants threatening to "unlad her."
