HISGEN JS ; NOTIFIED
Standard Bearer of New Party
Accepts Nomination.
Independence Party Candidate for
President Advocates "Direct Nomi
nations, the Initiative, the Referen
dum and the Recall."
There wns not room enough In the
cluh house of the Independence party
fit New York to hold the large crowd
that gathered Tuesday night for the
dual purpose of being present nt the
notification of Thomns 1 Illsgen, In
dependence party candidate for presi
dent, and the house warming of the
club
Willlnm R. Hearst and Mr. Hlsgen
entered the club house shortly nfter 9
o'clock and v.ere greeted by an out
burst of cheers. Hlsgen was enthu
siastically referred to as "The titibt
buster" and "Our next president."
It had been originally planned' to
have Mr, Illsgen and Mr. Graves noti
fied at the same time, but owing to
THOMAS L. HISGEN.
poor health of Mr. Graves this
the
plan was abandoned. Mr Graes Is
at Warm Sulphur Springs in Virginia.
Melvln G. Palliser, chairmon of the
meeting, turned the proceedings over
to Henry A. Powell, chalrmun of the
notification committee. Mr. Powell
began by saying that he enjoyed the
duty that lay before him In notifying
the candidate for president of the
new party, which, he said, in view of
the signs of the times, was destined
to be historical in tho future of the
city, state and nation. Mr. Powell
told Mr. Hlsgen that ho had been se
lected as standard bearer of the new
party, and when Mr. HUgen arose to
accept the nomination, there wns
prolonged cheering and it was several
minutes before the candidate could
begin.
Candidate Hlsgen's Address.
After stating that he regarded his
nomination as a call to public service,
Mr. Hisgen went right Into the main
issues of the campaign and gave a
vlgoious outline of the principles and
policies lie stands, lor. He declared
it was necessary to organize a new
paity to bring about needed reforms
and so the Independence paity came
into existence. The candidate assert
ed that the present division of ihe re
form element had permitted the con
trol of the government to slip from
the hands of the people Into the hands
of machine politicians and party
bosses, and he said that to take con
trol out of their hands he advocated
"direct nominations, the initiative, the
referendum and the recall."
Mr. Hlsgen said, In part: "The di
rect primary Is spreading rapidly
through the states of the south and
the west. Wherever tho direct prim
ary goes the party boss disappears.
The party convention and Its dummy
delegates are the bosses tools. De
stroy them and the boss is powerless.
"The right to initiate legislation
and, when occasion urines, to pass upon
and reject legislation is the purest
popular government and Is condemned
only by those who have lost faith In
the light and in the ability of the
people to govern
"Especially valuable is the tefer
enduin when the franchises and other
public property aie sought to be dis
posed of.
"Hand In hand with these measures
of popular government goes the right
of recall. When an official elected
tor a term of years demonstrates his
unfitness or betrays the public trust
early In I1I3 term, there hhould be a
bpeedy and simple way of recalling or
getting rid or him Instead of leaving
him in office, working public mischief
and at the same time strengthening
his hands by the use of patronage.
"I believe In organization among
workingmen designed to Increase the
effectiveneFS of human effort and Im
prove the conditions or human life and
labor, and that such organization
should not be classed as in criminal
restraint of trade. I stand firmly on'
the Independence party plank thnt
gives the American workingman the
American right of trial by Jury
before he shall be deprived or his lib
erty, and that forbids the use of the
writ of Injunction in labor disputes
until after a Jury trial upon the
merits."
Mr. Hisgen then told of construe
five measures he proposes for the
farmers. He said he believed in a
national system of good roads, to be
built by national aid to states and
counties, and also advocated the Im
mediate extension of the parcels post.
