To voters of the 10th congressional
district of Wisconsin.
The Republicans of Theodore Roose-
weld is my ideal of the highest type OF
citizenship to which any Republican
can subscribe. The principales he has
outlined and the policies he has lnsti
tuted | most cheerfully endorse.
Should | be nominated and elected a.
Congressman from this great district |

President with my voice and vote at
every opportunity in carrying on the
contest he has instituted in behalf OF
the people. On railroad rate legisla-
ton, on providing the proper means
and methods to curb the growing
power and intiuenu, of the great trusts
AMI monopolies that Cypress our citi-
zens, on the rigid inspection OF the food
products that are consumed by the
American people, OH the protection OF
policy holders of insurance companies,
on the revision of the tariff as time and
conditions demand, on the encourage
ment of every legitimate enterprise,
and on thu other great national ques-
lions thai effect the health, happiness
and prosperity of our people | stand
with President Theodore Roosevelt,
and free and untrammelled from any
influence, power or special interest l
will, if nominated and elected as an

To make the American government
more thoroughly representative OF the
people along these lines and to promote
