WATSON ATTACKS
PLUTOCRACY'S RULE
Atlanta. Ga... July 10.—Thomas
E. Watson, candidate of the People's
party for president, was'formally no­
tified of his nomination by the com­
mittee at a largely attended meeting
of populists in this city today. The
notification speech
was
by Judge
Forest, of Albany, N. Y.
Watson
delivered a lengthy reply In which he
reviewed the work and ambitions of
his party. His feldress was devoted
largely to encroachments of wealth
upon the liberties of the people, com­
paring present conditions with those
of Rome and other empires of his­
tory preceding their fall.
“Suppose you compare the plu-
tocracy of Rome to that of these
United States. J. P. .Morgan has more
money Invested in art treasures alone
than the richest of all the Romans
was worth. Tha summer cottage’ of
Cornelius Vanderbilt costs »3.000,-

by levying a fine of 125,000,000 up­
on the rich cities of Greece. The Su­

lic a few years ago, to recoup Itself
