Chicago Leads the Van in Populist Reform Rally
A large Chicago gathering led by Judge Lyman Trumbull and C S Darrow endorses the People’s Party as a break from Republicans and Democrats. Trumbull denounces wealth concentration, urges laws to curb money power, and advocates cooperative ownership of production and public control of railroads and utilities. The piece frames a national shift toward reform and a new party movement.
