he elected to represent Portage County
| in the next Legislature, would work
for the abolishment of the prison con-
vict contract labor system,' which is u
standing disgrace to the state and a
gross injustice to every honest skilled
mechanic. 1 would also advocate q
general license system for the sale of
Intoxicating liquor, that only decent
men could engage i'll the traffic, and
that the people who drank it might be
protected against adulterated liquors,
and that the offenders might be made
to suffer for violating any part of the
statute made in pursuance Of license.
I am against all kinds of partisan and
religious bigOtly and would advocate
Russell bill,' which attempts to pre-
scribe mans religious belief, genu-
inc republican idea. believe in per-
sonal liberty to every man consistent
with the rights of his neighbors, and
as you know, having been a moss
back democrat for thirty-tive years,
never scratching a ticket, the demo.
