Jackson's Speech.
Candidate Jackson was called on to
speak and after thinking the caucus
for its good viii as shown in the vote,
! he said;
1T is my belief that a representative
! should represent his whole city--repre-
J sent all nterests-and to do Justly, moi
! for the good of the few, but Of the
many. He is elected to stand for the
I common good Of the city, irrespective
Of the political party to which he be-
! longs. And more than this, there Is q
/ broader visi0n--he is concerned with
E legislation affecting the whole state
: His duty is summed up in his oath e
E conduct himself as faithful, honest
! representative and guardian Of the peo
pie, according to bis best Judgment ane
abilities
There will be important and neces
sary legislation at the next assembly
Laws are contemplated relating t0 labor
: relating to the better supervision O
the expenditure Of state funds on high
4 ways and the increase Of permanently
= improved highways; laws relating (
I education; laws relating to the reorgan
I. ization Of the judiciary system, BY mean
4 of which he who comes as plaintiff int
(. court can obtain a speedy hearing law'
looking to reformation rather than pun
1 ishment in penal institutions; laws re
lating to forest preservation and TN
replcnishing OF waste lands with for
ests; a solution OF the evils of double
taxation will be sought for, the calic,l
law, so-callet, should be materiall,
: changed and improved, and other i'm
portant measures will be discussed anl
enacted. In all these matters It repre-
sentative should look for the best mean
4 for the carrying out Of the best ideas
Lastly, stand not as an antagonis
OF organized labor, but as a friend there
!. Of, and, in friendly rivalry TO candi
\ date already nominated, ask the sup
!. port Of the trade unionist. We are 81

effort have brought to our city--a cit.
where true prosperity abounds. "A MA
who il not friendly 10 the wage earne
is an enemy of himself. And in con
clusion may ! ask that in the comm
campaign personalities be dispense
