Virginia Democrats Name Edward Echols for Lieutenant Governor
The Virginia Democratic State Convention at the Academy of Music Roanoke, with about 1 548 members present or proxy, nominated Major J Hoje Tyler for governor and Edward Echols for lieutenant governor after a lengthy credentials dispute. The platform reiterates Chicago 1900 demands on tariff revenue, income tax, regulation of trusts, and free coinage of gold and silver at 16 to 1, opposing British monometallism. The convention adjourned after adopting a resolution for U S senate nomination in primaries and elaborating state policy for taxation and currency.
