There, cannot be any question about the
sincerity of j. T. F.sJacobson's support !of
1 A. L.. Cole for governor. Mr. Jacobsen
has, sent out a letter-to number Of his
friends.saHr. over~sthee state. in which, he
urges them to stand by. Cole because, Cole
! is right and stands for, the same princt-
i pies as jacobson hndself.,s The text of the
letter Mr Jacobsnng has written is as
follows: = - : - - ~ =
Dear, Sir: want to say word to IN,
friends concerning the ISSUES of the Champaign
Of doing it. hope tRat my my friends will will suppor ]
Mr.. Cole. for: 4 am persuaded that he stands
for those reform measures which are Of th'
greatest interest to the people of this state
| especially in the line Of new legislation govern
Ing railroads and the enforcement Of the. law
we already have on that subject. When
| wanted to know how Mr. Cole stood on the rail
road rate question I went to him and asked hin
to state his position, S and from our conversation
am convinced that he and think exactly alik
on that question. The position Of the demo
The su from cuts IS
our position. VI, believe that some Of gu
laws are good; others need amendment. Thes
others are not good enough, and they never will
be good enough until the farmers and the smal
merchants have shipping privileges at the sam
wholesalers in the large centers. n
hope that none Of; my friends will be de
ceived with the cry that the corporations an
lumber *barons nominated Cole He was nomi
mated fair and square, and in this fight repre-
-sents the people. sThe railroads and timbe
thieves are. opposing him. I made it my bus
ness to infol N myself on this subject befor
I consented to take the stump and talk fo
personally, and my. friends everywhere, wi
support Mr.. Cole ands DO all you can to interes
your neighbors IN the cause. The only chanc
we have to secure reform for at least two year
: is to elect Cole, and hope my; friends wi
help roll up good majority for the whole ticke
