To the Republican Voters of the 39th
Senatorial District of Kansas:
Having formally announced myself
as a candidate for the senatorial nomi-
nation in the 39th Kansas district
through the newspapers of the district
it would seem proper to briefly set
forth some of the reasons why l covet
this honor.
Before the days of the election pri-
mary it was not always necessary for
a candidate to take the people into his
confidence and tell them just what he
would do in case of his election. l re-
gard it as hopeful indication when
the candidate must take his case to the
people for consideration.
The great mass of voters can expect
nothing to come to them out of politics
save what general benefits may come
to them from right legislative action
and for that reason the course to be
pursued by the candidate, should he be
elected, is of vital Importance to the
candid, thoughtful voter.
AS to where shall stand in the
event of my nomination l take pride in
referring the voter to my record in the
last house of representatives. The re-
cord there will show that / supported
every measure that meant a square
deal for the hard working voters who
were at home attending to their daily
duties. The people who were enjoying
special privileges in the state were in
attendance at the legislature battling
to maintain their advantage over their
absent brother and it is a sad commen-
tary that too often the legisture yields
to their opportunities. If the candidate
has pledged himself to his constituents
in his campaign there is far less dan
ger of his yielding to improper infuen-
ces.
am not running in the interest of
any candidate for United States senator
nor for any candidate for governor and
: if nominated will cheerfully abide by
the instructions given to the voters of
the district.
believe the 2-cent passenger fare
established by the board of railroad
commissioners should be sustained by
legislature action if required.
l believe the anti-pass law put an
end to more legislative corruption than
any other one measure. save possibly
the primary election law, and should
Free press., 1908-06-06

not be repealed.
l believe the freight rate reductions
made for grain and grain products
should be gradually extended to other
articles as time and wisdom shonld die
tate. Owing to our distance from
market the freight rates are of vital
Importance to our property valuations.
l believe the fight being made by
President Roosevelt to lessen the in
tuences of corporations in the manage
ment of our government and in the
making of its laws deserves our un-
qualified support and his good example
should be followed in our state affairs
If nominated and elected 1 pledge
myself to a careful consideration of
all questions effecting the personal or
property rights of the people and shall
deal openly and fairly with all interests
involved.
With this brief statement | will rest
the matter for the present, hoping to
meet many of the voters personally he

Inches. Not Feet.

The mistake of word makes great
difference. A telephone message from
Ellis at midnight Monday said the creek
had raised Is feet, and for the people
to watch out. The marshal went the
round of the south part of town, warn
ing the residents and many of them
got ready to move out. Instead it
should have been eighteen inches. No
damage was done. For thirty years
no rain or cloud-burst has flooded our
city only when the west dams burst,
which is liable to occur anywhere where
large bodies of water are banked up.
