Questions for Candidates.

EDITon FREE PREEss'- Please permit ne
to ask through your columns few ques-
tons for the several candidates for Senate
and House 10 answer. Imean Messrs Kone,
Reagan, Clemens, Francis and other al
ready announced and who will here after
announce. 1st. Do you believe In n
property tax to improve the public roads !?
2nd. Are you In favor Of uniform sys-
TEN of text books in our public schools.
3rd. How do you stand on the homestead
law. 4th. Do you think it proper, right
or Just to elect United States Senators and
President by direct vote and not as now
by electoral college? 9Th. What do you

troll railroads !?
Now permit me to soy in explanation that
while we are aware Of the fact that state
Senators and representative are not and do
not constitute the body to enact laws in any
way, touching question 4, 5 and 6, we
are fully aware of the fact that they do
elect our United States Senator'S, SO there
is no use to say rs Of old they have moth
ing to do with that" Would like for
Judge Kone to fully define and explain his
words "to piotect individual rights and
legitimate interests" as used in his circular.
And to L. w. Moore and all other as
perants for congressional houses ques-
tons 4, and are especially propounded.
They were once propounded to Mr.. Moore
