| To THE REPUBLICANS or THE THIRD
| CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT;
In response to merous requests
from citizens throul 1t this congress
sional district he, make formal
announcement that e. stand as a
candidate for the re. 'ican nomina-
tion for congress beh j. the primary
election to he held on Il ( rat Tuesday
in September, 1906
In Announcing my decl Z to stand as
a candidate for this impo, = t position
of honor aud responsibility Z feel that
AS citizens and voters you 4 entitled
to candid, though necessarily a brief
statement of my position upou at least
the cardinal and fundamental princi-
pies affecting the public, political and
social life Of the nation and of our own
great ate
am by conviction, hound to aupport,
Loyalty and faithfully in spirit and let.
ter, the cardinal principles of the re-
publican party o. expressed at its last
national con gentiyn; to the maintenance
of which together with our nations
honor and national prosperity, President
Theodore Roosevelt has devoted his
supbrb and courageous manhood and
patriotism.
While am firm believer in the
principles of protection to American
labor, and its industries, yet in my
opinion the time has come wlSen there
should be revision of the tariff sched.
ule, as to eliminate every element in it
which creates or fosters trusts and co m
binations.
To furnish better markets for the pro-
ducts of The farm, the shop and the
varied industries Of our people, we
should make greater effort to COM
mand the markets of the world through
reciprocity measures
To ship subsidies, promoted in the
interest of shipping companies, trusts
or individuals, 1 I'm on principle oppos-
ed.
Believing that government by the people
is the fundamental idea upon which our
public rests, I'have always given my
earnest support as legislator and as
private citizen to measures and to men
representing this principle.
Man. of the important problems that
have been solved in our own state in
the past few years under the able lead
ership of Hon. Robt NJ La Toilette, are
before the people Of the uation today
for solution. The contest seems now to
have been transferred from our state to
the nation.
Already President Roosevelt has de-
clared for control of the great corporate
interests Of the country which have so
many years dictated legislation of pub
lie Importance
believe, in common with the great
majority of our people, that the nation.
al government must and should control
public service corporations in all matters
pertaining to interstate service; that it
must regulate combinations which tend
to destroy competition and fix prices;
that 1t should pass Il strong freight rate
law That to make nationallegislation
truly representative the citizen should
be represented in congress by men who
believe in "a government of the people,
for the people and by the people, and
not for and by corporations
Fully believing in these and similar
issues am in accord with large ma.
iority of the people o. the Third dis.
trict, will make an active campaign
for tho nomination, and il nominated
and elected shall at all times give my
best service TO the people Of this dis
trict. d. Q. MAHoNEY.
