The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1907-11-29


immigrants is menace O
the rights of the American
laborer, and for the reason
that such immigrants can
never be assimilated with the
dominant race of the United
States. A rigid child labor
law should be enacted which
would protect the children and
give them a chance for their
develOpe1nent and education to
which they are entitled.
| favor legislation which will
secure to the farmer National
inspection for the weighing
and grading of his grain at
terminal points.
Our state is treeless one.
We need trees to conserve the
moisture of our soil and to
beautifv our country, and | am
in favor of Government aid
to farmers and others for the
purpose of planting tree $
which will increase the wealth
and the beauty of our country
Clifford Pinchot, the Govern
ment Expert on Forestry, says
t h a t at the present rate of
consumption our forests will
be exhaused in % years.
When the war was over and
the soldiers in '65 came march,
ing home, no place was too
good for them, no honor to
bright. Now the soldier is
growing old and the ranks of
the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie are being rapidly thinned
by death. | am in favor of
liberal pensions to the o d
soldiers, who did so much for
our country and believe that
we, as a great nation, should
be liberal with them that they
may pass the few years re-
naming to them in peace and
comfort
am in favor of the action
taken by the farmers in the
formation of. he American
Society of Equity for tn ei r
mutual benefit and protection.
I do not recognize it as a new
party or branch of any politi-
cal party, but as body of
citizens seeking to benefit their
condition by cooperation |
pledge my services in all
measures that may tend to
the benefit of the farmers of
this State. l am in favor of
the extension of the Rural Free
Delivery of mail, believing that
it is one of the best methods
of education which has ever
been devised. 1t helps to keep
h e farmer posted on tn e
markets and in many other
ways. | will do all that l can
do to have it extended that it
may keep step with the rapid
increase of the population of
our State.
l am in favor of the election
of United States Senators by
a direct vote of the people.
The question of transporta-
ton is one which is vital to
every person in the country.
TO grant debates or concessions
to one and not to another is
wrong. l am in favor of the
regulation of our railroads by
our Government that eq Ia a
justice may be done to all,
both to the railroads and to the
people and believe that com
mission should be named by
the President to place valua-
ton upon railroad properties
that we may have a basis upon
which to determine what are
fair passenger and freight rates
and also to assist our states in
the proper assessment and the
equalizing of railroad property
for the purpose of taxation. e
Believing in the principles OF
the Republican party, [ am a
Republican. In ny-judgement
it, has earned: the confidence
and respect of the people. ]
believe in the policies of Pre-.
sident Roosevelt and admire
the splendid manner in which
he has handled and met every
public; question n d every
emergency. ..-.. -. .a.l:. ..
Should 1.-The people of this
EState nominate and elect me
to. the Office which I seek.
! will do my>best to represent
all of the people and every
section of the State, fairly an6
honorably. .,4..T ~.
