ADDRESS TO worms.
For Delegate 70 Congress this club
will support the Hon. Charles =. Voor-
hees, and recommend the people to do
the same. for the following reasons
That We heartily approve of his position
with regard TO forfeiture of the unearn I'd
land grant to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company. corporate land holding
| and railroad matters. We are firmly Of
| the opinion that the control OF such a
large portion of our soil by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company Is prejn5icial
to the good government aud present and
| future welfare OF our Territory that
such control 10 wrong In principle, and
| Is fraught with grave danger TO oar
rights and the purity of our political
| and judicial systems. We hold that the
experience of other Nations. and even
OF other States of our Republic, in the
| matter Of the control Of The coil by a
/ favored few and of corporate greed
should teach IA to be vigilant and quick
20 resent the slightest infraction or in
vasiou of the Just prerosatives OF the
| peorle by aggregated or Corporate power.
We have recently been witnesses IN
/ this city 60 the open, shameless and
| scandaions methods OF the Northern
| Pacific Railroad Company In the con
| troll Of che Republican Territorial Con-
vention. Those methods and their
success should be condemned by every
good citizen, and the company should
be taught that it is the servant and not
the master OF the people: that u must
40 out of politics and keep within the
legitimate limits OF its functions as =
comsnon carrier. There 10 no other
way OF placing the seal OF disspproval
upon IDS conduct and upon the PERM
ctons system OF corporate land holding
than 10 throw aside party rrejadices
and vote for Mr.. Voorhees,. The issue
between the platform on which be stands
aud that ON which bis opponent
stands Ii clearly aud sharply define l..
Aside frea the question of personal Mt
ness OF the candidates, the forfeiture
of unearnsd land grants and proper
governmental control of corporations,
are the only questions At issue IN this
campaign. An to the question OF ft.

we find that Mr.. Voorhees, Is a youue
man of excellent character and fins
abilities, and that be has bad careful
training in the Law, has had large ex,
