People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 15, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 October 1896 — Krueger Nominated. [ARTICLE]

Krueger Nominated.

The people's party committee, which was selected by the late copvention and intrusted with the duty of naming a candidate for congress, met in Monon today (Friday the 25th) and nominated Hon. Martin T. Krueger of Michigan City. The committee was fully represented and the first ballot was unanimous. Every committeeman was enthusiastic in his championship of Mr. Krueger and were con fident that he would carry the district. Mr. Krueger is one of the most progressive thinkers on economic matters, believing firmly in government ownership of our railroads and telegraph, and in other matters being more nearly in harmony with the people's party platform than with the Chicago platform. It is pleasant to recall that before he had aspirations for the high office he now stands, for he was fearless in the defense of the cause of organized labor. Repeatedly has he given his legal services and his means to defend men from the oppression of corporations, and in his appeal to them this fall to vote for the cause of silver they will loyally respond, and, cast their vote solidly for the man they love to call their brother.
