Believing that it was due tie people
OF this state to know whether all the
candidates seeking the SURFACES OF the
people OF this state would If elected,
accept any passes or other favor5 from
public service corporations, especially
IRON the railroads, The independent
mailed to each of such candidates a
letter asking in plain English this
pointed qeustion. The question and the
replies thereto will be published as last

also call attention OF its r. dders 10
the names of all candidates who fail to
respond to this question. 1t matters
not whether these candidates are on
the populist and democratic tickets or
not, the public shall know their posi-
ton on this important question, In
this campaign this issue is an I'M
portant one, and the candidate unWill-
ing to pledge himself on this pclnt is
unfit to be elected. Here is the letter:
Dear Sir: You have doubtless OBJ
served that our candidate for COVER
nor, George w. Berge, has taken
positive and definite stand upon the
question of railroad passes. IL has
not come tJ-tftr~}sga wledge. Of The in-
dependent that ayy other Of -t1c err.
didates on our state ticket or. OF the
candidates for congress have expressed
themselves upon this question.
AS the major portion of the candi-
dates upon the state ticket will COM
pose the state board of equalization,

due the people of this state to know
whether those composing this board
will pledge themselves as MI. Bcrge

desires to ask you directly this cues
tion. II elected to the Office to which
you have been nominated, will you ac-
cept any pass or other favor from The
railroads of this or any other state, or
will you accept from any public fran
chised corporation any favor Ct any
description whatever?

Editor Independent: Replying to
your inquiry, Whether, if elected |
should accept passes or other fayors
from railway corporations? ?" + nave no
hesitation in answering mo; certain
~ not"
Under the circumstances supposed,
it would almost certainly be ms duty to
prosecute actions against railroads and
other monopolistic corporations, and
to accept free transportation from
them would be tantamount to accept
ing fee from both sides of the case.
A state official who accepts a free
railroad pass will accept a money bible
also, il tactfully offered, for nc who
accepts pass accepts that which has
money value
Some gentlemen Of my political faith
may look upon the pass from the good
fellows point of view, and saJ that
! il would notA interfere with the per
forlnarce or ~Uhfcfai disstg. THIS is a
most dangerous view to eaSe, for the
pass places the official under an obli-
cation to the PASSOVER. H. blunts
the official conscience, dulls the official
attention, and dims the Official eye.
1t is the entering wedge of dishonesty,
THAT little rift within the lite
Which by-and-by will make the music
mute
And ever widening deaden all within"
AS 1t appears before my vislon-and
| believe see it clearly-the rass traf-
tic between railroads and state officials
is not merely similar to bribery"-it
is not merely lin the nature of bribery
1t is bribery, and that in the fullest
sense.
1t is crime against honor and
against morals, and will use my best
efforts to make it crime against the
laws OF Nebraska, whether elected at
torney general or not.
Sincerely yours,
EDWARD Fl. WHELAN.

question, | wish to say: First. that

pass question from politics. as there
would be no favoritism in ouf trans

we have government ownership of the
railroads. | am unalterably Opposed to
the use OF passes by any public official
and II elected to any Office at ANY time
in any place, | shall never ask Tor nor
use one IT rendered me: consider a
pass granted public official. in the
