In response TO a strong and unso-
licited sentiment; throughout the
state. offer myself TO The republican
electors as a candidate at the June
primaries for the nomination OF Unit
ed States senator.
Having lived here and been actively
engaged in various lines Of industry
for thirty-flve years, know the needs
Of the people and am 10 full sympathy
with them.
/ will have had eight years expert
ence 10 the house OF representatives,
and consequent acquaintance With
public men and affairs, and knowl-
edge OF the machinery OF the govern
ment and its workings that no new
man can bring 10 the service Of the
people
Many states promote their house
members TO the senate. and ] am >
candidate for such promotion, relying
on my record
l am in complete sympathy with
the policies OF President Roosevelt
aud most decidedly favor his re-
election. and. in the event OF his per.
sistent refusal to accept the nomina-
ton, l am for the candidate whom be
believes would most successfully carry
out his policies.
Briefly stated:
l stand for prompt revision Of the
tariff, and for the removal OF all tarifi
on lumber. l favor the removal Of
the tarifi on wood pulp, or such legis-
lation as will bring relief from the ex.
tortions Of the paper trust.
am sQuarely for completeand rigid
control by the strong arm Of the ma
tional government. through national
charters or licenses. Of all railroads,
express and telegraph companies, and
all other corporations doing an inter.
state commerce business, and for the
hroadest publicity OF their Affairs.
The business Of corporations must be
brought down to the common level OF
honesty. fair dealing and fair compe-
tition of other lines Of business.
Our railroads ought to be appraised
at their actual value as basis for de-
termining equitable freight and pass
eDger tariffs and FOR the purposes Of
taxation.
want 10 see public building erect.
ed by the government for postoffices
and courts in all our small cities, and
favor some concerted action OF the
government and state for improve.
ment OF our wagon roads.
favor such national legisiati lion Is
will supplement and strengthen GU,
state prohibition and pure food laws
and make their execution more Ger.
tain aud effective, and shalt do my
utmost to secure the passage Of ms
pure-paint bill introduced in the last
congress.
| A decided betterment Of our polit.
ical conditions in the state has set in,
with which am In full sympathy.
want to see the movement go forward
and keep apace with our splendid In.
dustrial progress.
Under existing conditions the PEG.
pie, for the first time, can and viii
name a senator free from dictation Of
corporate influence and bOssism. II
the people make my appeal; and, Il
elected, to them shall give my solt
allegiance.
The domination Of our politics b,
corporations and bosses is a menac.
to good government, and l want Il
see their influence eliminated, in or.
der that our government, state and
national, may be what its founders
intended: purely representative.
At all times l am republican
standing with the party of progress
and Of action, the party that meets
every new condition successfully and
promptly.

THOS, #. MARSHALL.
