 Judge Youmans, in sentencing Ely, said:
 "Mr. Ely stand up. There is but little to be said in your behalf. You are a married man, and despite the fact that you abandoned your in valid wife, she is the only person who has pleaded with the court for you. received a pathetic let ter from her; and it is the hope of the court that. when you are through with this sentence you will return to your family and make amends for the grieyous wrongs you have done"
 The court then sentenced Ely to year and a day in the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kas.
 His alleged accomplice, Tyler, was granted a continuance to the next term.

STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL COURTS.

I believe in the Democratic doctrine of State Rights and favor legislation that will prevent the Federal Courts from assuming jurisdiction over State statutes regulating conditions wholly within the State We can but view with alarm the constant and ever
 increasing assumption of power by the inferior Fed
 era Courts local laws pertaining to state affairs This power the states surrendered intended to surrender to the Federal Government under the Federal Constitution, but is of the powers re-
 served by the States themselves, and the ursurpation of this power by the Federal Courts should be effect uay checked and this reserved right of the States under the Constitution should be restored in all it's

INTERSTATE RAILROADS.

Another great problem effecting our national life which Congress some day will have to settle, and should be settled the right way, the proper regula
 ton and control of our great interstate railway sys- tems These interstate railways impose millions of tribute upon the American people each year in the shape of freight and passenger rates, which we all know are excessive and burdensome. They closely allied with the trusts and eombines-in fact troed and directed by the people and actuated by that spirit of graft and greed each day becoming more powerful dangerous and aggressive These great public utilities of the Nation should not be permitted to lay tribute upon the people in unlaw ful and excessive charges for more than just and fair That they are robbng the people of millions by denied They should be regulated and controlled by the Government It is question today whether the Government shall control these railroads whether they shall control the Government. believe they and should be regulated and controlled I am with the people in this great contest and a means of regulation I favor action by Congress whereby the physical value of these roads shall be ascertained and fixed and when this is done that value should be taken as basis upon which to establish both freight and passenger rates. These rates should be fair to both the railroads and the people, and should be no greater than necessary to pay fair return upon this established value of these properties This would be fair to a and by this means all fictitious or water values would be squeezed out and the people would be relieved of paying freight and passenger rates upon millions of fictitious values.
 The people demand fair treatment and the rail- roads should be forced to give it.

 Lowe declared the International Harvester Company, through the National City Bank of New York, could break any independent con- cern in the United States" He de- clared that in the formation of the harvester trust the smaller man. ufacturers had been frozen out and that the actual formation of the trust" had been directed by J.

An Address

ganizaton and operation of these trusts and combines is largely the of the present high cost of living All the products of the country either directly or indirectly controlled by these trusts. The price paid the producer fixed in advance is the price charged the consumer. So long as these forces permitted to exist by the government and to control the markets of the country just long will the cost of living con- tinue to be high For instance The farmer takes his hogs to market where he is offered but cents, the price being fixed by the Packers he trusts) and he is compelled to sell at their price If the con- wants piece of bacon the grocer charges him 30 cents for it. because the Packers from whom he had to buy forced him to pay 2S cents This illustration will be found to apply to most all the necessares Of life and concusvey shows that there is too great difference between the price received by the producer and that paid by the This is of the many burdens placed upon the people by the trusts.
 Now my fellow citizen, favor drastic and effectual laws prohibiting all trusts and combinations in re- strant of trade, and making mandatory imprisonment for all violations. Sure and swift punishment should be meted out to the criminal rich who engage in these unlawful enterprises. They should not be permitted to evade the law or escape the penitenary because of their wealth.

Agriculture is the chief industry in this District, and upon the success of the agricultural interests de- bends the welfare and prosperity of the people. For the past few years the Government has endeavored to demonstrate scientific farming in many parts of the country believe this is a step in the right direction and should be encouraged and favor increased aid by sufficient appropriation to insure effective and beneficial demonstration work in each County of this District I also favor national aid for public high ways and stand for those measures of internal i'm provemen essential to the material development of District, State and Nation.

original purity and strctness
 The inferior Federal Courts are creatures of Congress- they were established by Congress and their power and jurisdiction are derived from Congress. If Congress create it abOlish if it grant power, it limit that power therefore my friends,
 favor legislation by Congress absolutely prohibiting the inferior Federal Courts from assuming jurisdiction by injunction otherwise any law of the state which has for it's purpose the regulation of any mat ter thing wholly within the state This ursurpaton of power by the Federal Courts is forcby brought to attention by the recent action of the Federal Court in nullfyng statute of this State enacted for the sole purpose of regulating freight and passenger rates within this State. When this statute attempted to be enforced the railroads instead of applying to the State Courts for redress, applied to Federal Judge the enforcement of this statute thereby deprvng the State of the right to regulate and control it's own in- ternal and local affairs. Do you believe the Federal Court should have this power? I say to you, that if something is not done to curb the power of the Fed eral Courts, will be but short time until there will be real State lines State Governments but this country will be a centralized Government controlled and directed by the Federal Courts and the States will be stripped of their rights and powers, and will longer enjoy the independent right of action dear to Democracy. If litigation should become necessary in questions of this kind let the litigation be had in the Courts of the State where under the Constitution it was intended that the States and their Courts should be supreme.

FOREST RESERVE.

Tn this District the Government has withdrawn from homestead entry all the public lands and created what is known as a Forest Reserve. This is ob- noxious to the people and subjects them to many an- noyances and inconveniences it is maintained by the Government at large expense and will never serve any useful purpose it constant of trouble and worry. I favor aboshng this Forest Reserve entirely and restoring all these lands to homestead entry by actual settlers.

Labor and industry being the very life blood of the nation believe the utmost fairness should be accorded the great producing class of our people at all times The great wealth-producing class of the na- ton is the vital force that sustains and makes good government possible and their rights should be fully guarded and protected under the law, and no legsa- ton should be permitted which would in any way impair restrict their rights

FELLOW CITIZENS:

am candidate for the Democratic nomination for representative to Congress from this district and in presenting my claim for this honor I will say that l am native of this state and having lived in the district practically all of my life, feel that am thor ouehly identified and familiar with the needs and con- ditions of the people. I Democrat because believe the principles of Democracy to be the best upon which to build and maintain good government
 firmly believe in that cardinal principle of Democ- racy-"equality of rights to all under the law and special privileges to none" This just as essential to good government today as in the days of Jefferson and Jackson It is fundamental of true Democracy and government can be truly democratic where there exists in that government inequalities of rights to the people under the law. For the past fifty years under a protective tariff system this fundamental prin- cpe of good government has been hagTanty and con- tnuousy abused; favored class of the people have been granted privileges and immuntes under the law not granted to all of the people. The privileges and immunities thus given to this favored class are still enjoyed by them at the expense and burden of the masses. This system of inequality under the law with special privileges to few was established and has been maintained since policy of government by the Republican party of this Nation. As opposed to this protective tariff policy of the Republican party the Democratic party has always stood for tariff for
 
 am opposed to any tax being levied for the purpose of protecting any person. industry class of citizens and do not believe that any kind of tax should be lev jed for any purpose except for necessary to maintain the government economically administered. The tariff question is one of the important problems for the coming Congress to sove the people every where are clamoring for revision of the tariff but l. for one do not believe will get proper relief from the Republican party from those who believe in protection a policy of government. believe that the tariff should be revised and adjusted by those who stand for tariff for only; by the friends of the people and not by the friends of the protected class There is a material difference between Judge Carter and myself upon this important question, for wherever he has spoken in this campaign he has openly and avowedly stood for protective tariff. His posi-
 ton upon the tariff is the that maintained by the Republican party He says he favors tariff that will equalize the cost of production at home and abroad in order that American labor may be protected against foreign labor That is exactly the Republican doctrine set forth in their platforms.
 The Republican party has always stood for pro- ectve tariff for proteetions sake Standing Judge Carter does advocating a protective tariff will the Democrats of this District send him to Congress to sist the Republicans in revising the tariff?

TRUSTS AND COMBINES.

Under this protective tariff system the protected classes have grown richer and richer for many years past and with the millions they have thus taken from the toiling of the American people they have consorted together and with the aid of these combined millions have organized trusts of various kinds for the purpose of regulating production, fixing prices, sfng competition and controlling the financial and indus trial affairs of the Nation. These gigantic combina tons are now a serious menace to our prosperity and welfare; they are a force which ramife and effects all the commercial and industrial activities of the country. Individual efforts being crushed and trampled upon and a result and serious condition is confronting national life This new force and condition is but offspring of the pro- tectve tariff and with that system should be abolished and prohibited.
