Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July TO-
The following statement was made by
Bryan when he received the announce
ment Of his nomination as candidate
Of the democratic party for the presi-
dency
THE president is the highest ofic-
ial position in the world and no one
occupying It can afford to have his
views upon public question biased by
personal ambitions Recognizing the
responsibilities to God and his obliga-
tions to his countrymen he should en-
ter upon the discharge of his duties
with singleness Of purpose. Believing
that one can best do this when he is
not planning for a second term, an
nounce now, as I have on former oe-
casions, that If | am elected ! shall
not be candidate for reelection

FARMERS TOR GOOD ROADS
WILL BUILD WAREHOUSE
Would Work State and County Convicts on
Public Highways Resolutions Adopted
BY County Union

AT the county Farmers Union meet.
ing yesterday afternoon important res.
oIutions on the good roads proposition
we're adopted and the initial steps to-
ward the establishing Of a large cotton
ana grain warehouse in this city were
taken.
The roads resolutions which were
drafted by G. G. Anderson Of the Chick.
asha local, declare against the policy
of working the states convicts
to construct two main highways across
the state, according to plan outlined
in press dispatches, and insead they
suggest that state convicts and county
prisoners be worked in the various
counties under the direction Of the
county authorities, the latter being re-
Quired to make suitable arrangement
take care Of them while they are en-.
ployed.
I'VE believe that two main roads
should be constructed north and south
east and west, through Grady county"
said Mr.. Anderson in speaking o fthe
resolution These roads would lead
to the county seat. We take the view
that the benefits Of the labor Of the
convicts would be more equitably dis
tributed over the state by our plan
than it would be If according to the
scheme that has been proposed"
The proposed warehouse here will
be the largest in this section Of
the state the idea being to make
chickasha concentration point for
cotton and grain which the farmers
lwish to store The superior railroad
facilities make this city the most ad-
vantageous location for the warehouse.
J. r. Burleson and G. G. Anderson
were elected delegates to the state
union meeting at Shawnee, Aug 1913
and they will present the roads resolu.
tions at that time.
