A populist/progressive platform was presented for consideration but was for the most part rejected. In the end, the typical Prohibition/Conservative Platform was adopted.
It was somewhat amusing to learn that some of the delegates still believe the Federal Reserve Bank is working well for the people and not a Private Bank. It was equally amusing that many delegates still see the United Nations as an honorable organization dedicated for world peace. The problem with this historic party, is that it is still dominated by people who see Alcohol as the main issue destroying the United States! How sad.
MR. WEBB is correct
Who is Mr. Webb?
This party has been around since 1869 with its’ first presidential ticked nominated in 1872.
