TO THE VOTERS OF THE 28TH
SENATORIAL DISTRICT
OF CALIFORNIA.

Having received the nomination by the
Republican and the New Constitution
parties for the responsible position Ut
State Senator for the Senatorial district
composed of the counties of Siskiyou,
/ Modoc, Shasta and Trinity, and it not
being possible for me to make Il thorough
canvass OF the district, deem i. II duty
owe the people to make plain statement
of the views and opinions which l hold iG
regard to natiunHi State and local ques-
! tiOns and matters, as are now, and are
! hereafter liable to becume of importance
affecting the welfare Ofour common coun-
! try, and that Of our own State common
wealth.
In regard to national affairs can only
say that | am in full accord with the Re
publican party. | believe that the mis-
sioL of the parry has not yet been COM
peted, and that it would be misfortune
to change il ut the present time, and place
the Democratic party, us now constituted
in power
Under the new constitution TINT has
but jIst been adopted md ratified by the
people of the State of California. impor-
tunt and radical changes are made in the
economy and I'D sdministra;iIn of the State
county and municipal government. and
II is expected of the legislature to be
elected on the Sd OF September next a
! iull and complete system of laws 10 put
| into effect and fully carry out the prOvis-
ions OF the new organic law.
Having advocated, supported and vot-
ed for the new constitution, recOgnize
| ste obligation under which lie, to use
MI lawful means to enforce it in letter and
| in spirit. recognize tbs instrument MS
| the supreme law of the land, made by
the biggest tribunal which has existence,
the people. from which there is no np-
| peal except back TO the power that Great
cd it, ard in the instrument itself is fully
provided the means by which any pOt ti0n
thereof that may be found to work injur-
inusly or unjust!y may be speedily amend
ed. As it was my honest conviction that
the new constitution as n whole would
prove to De OF great benefit TO the people
Of the State, and inaugurSte period of
prosperity and II relief 70 the masses OF
| burdens which they had for long years
been compelled to bear in the shape OF
unequal and unjust taxation, | in coed
faith supported it and deem it now my
duty ifelecied to the honorable position
! for which am nominated to do all in
my power ms State Senator to carry out
in letter ard spirit their des Tres as ex-
pressed by their vote.
There are questions Of local importance
as regards the welfare o t the people in
my own Senatorial district that will come
| before the legislature to convene next
January; To these matters, it elected,
shal feel it my imperative duty Ia attend
and shall make it an object to do all
that is possible toward the introduction
and passage Of acts that have for their
aim the good and prosperity Of the com
munitles which compose this senatorial
district
In the Republican convention Of Sis<i-
you county. resolutions have been passed
looking To II remodeling of our hospital,
and indignant sick manag ement, and II
closer attention to the accounts and books
of our county officers. ] look upon this
as II move in the right direction and am
of the opinion that it is necessary TO make
some change in these matters both rs To
Siskiyou county and to the other counties
of the district.
In conclusion. have only 10 sav to the
voters of the 2Sth Senatorni districts that
if elected to the honorable position OF
your Senator ! will d" all that bays with.
in my power to foster and advance every
means that tends 10 MD us in the develop
ment and prosperity of0ur own beautiful
