Mr.. Nowrey,s Letter OF Acceptance

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 80, 1917.
MI. Nowrey's Letter of Acceptance
The committee appointed to notify
Joseph En- Nowley of his nomination
for Congress meet him on Tuesday and
predicted his election over Congressman
. I'll. C. Loudenslager, who has held the
position for eighteen years.
In accepting the nomination MI
Nowrey said:
This nomination coming to me unso-
licited 1 hereby accept, knowing iuiiy
the sacrifice which it means, but as you
have seen fit to thus honor me L feel II
to be my duty to take UP the standards
entrusted to my keeping to carry them
over the battlements OF special privilege
and corporate greed as the emblems OF
a free people. | am mindful OF the
honors heaped upon NE i'll the past, and
thai fact more than any other induces
me to accept this nomination OF the
people, to do the peoples work. l feel
that | " it to the people, Republicans
as well as Democrats, to lead the fight
in this district against Cannonism, the
Payne- Aldrich taliff bill and the high
cost of living.
| believe that 1 can truthfully say thai
in the past whatever public duty was
assigned to me by the people l kept thell
faith; should l be SO fortunate III The
coming battle as TO lie successful L shall
continue only to serve tile people. No
higher call can come to any man, thah
the call to serve the people. NO Time
seems more %oppOrtune 1or the perloI-
nance of such d high civic duly thai
the time at hand.
When the progressive element OF The
Republican party cry out with loud ac-
claim that the Republican ship has
broken from her anchorage with the
people and dropped anchor i'll the slough
of special privilege, is ii not lime that
all good citizens should awake 10 the
necessity OF a change!
Tie fire of popular indignation has
been lightedin The pine woods oil Maihe'
and that fire, l believe, will sweep this
land from coast to coast and IRON DO
minion to Gulf. L sincerely Lopelt VIII
burn OH and extinguish the corruption
that has cIept into public life. L trust
that this fire of discomfort Will grow TO
a c%onfiaglation of public wrath until all
men shall understand that the people
are determined TO come into theIr oWn.
Not only from Democrats, but from the
good thinking Republicans, has come
the cry for a change. The tocsin has
been sounded for Wal, war on Cannon
ism, war OH the Payne-Aldrich tariff
and wal Oh the high cost OF living.
The Payne-Aldrich Tariff bill has SO
increased the burdens of the people that
the American workiugman can no longer
maintain his family as ne would desire
TO do; this condition not only applies to
the nottingham, but to every citizen,
and mantle SITS itself when lie or she goes
to purchase The neceSsaries of life. This
is the year that every Congressman
should tie obliged to render an account
of his stewardship. During the years
1909 and 1910 his loyalty 10 tie people
was put to a supreme test; did he vote
for Cannonlsm and special privilege or
did he vote for the interests of his OH
stituents? Let achansWerfo for himself.
If he is weighed in the balance and
found wanting the people have a duiy
10 perform.
If elected TO the high office for which
/ have been nominated / make a solemn
pledge to the voters that | shall always
vote and act in Congress to reduce the
cost of living, and to have placed once
again the reins of government in the
hands of the people.
