Candidate For State Senator.

To the Editor of The American:
SOUTH BRooKsvILLE, Jan. 8, 1914.
Having been urged by many of my
friends to be a candidate as one of the
State senators from Hancock county, and
after consulting and corresponding with
the present State senators, and taking into
account the statement from DR.. A. G
Hagerthy that he had no intention of be-
ing candidate for this office, hereby
announce that shall be a candidate be-
fore the June primaries, for the nomi-
nation of State senator.
1t has been customary in Hancock
county to give the senators in office the
second nomination without contest on
their part, and believing this well-estab
lIshed custom or precedent should con-
tinue, 1 had no intention of entering
of either OF the present senator's without
an assurance from one or both of them
that they would not be candidate for
this office.
Having been requested to express my
views in reference to the enforcement
OF the law and new legislation, and
believing any man announcing his candi-
dacy for this office should declare his at
;itude in relation to the same, that there
may be no misunderstanding between the
voters and candidate, make the following
statement:
No one hardly expects to prohibit even
the crime of murder, but without doubt
it is greatly restricted by the enforcement
of law, as all other offences both civil and
criminal are. 1t appears to me that the
enforcement of some laws and the multi
fication of others, give the anarchist
some ground for his theory. 1 believe in
the enforcement of the law.
l believe in the workman's compensa-
ton act, and il elected, will do all l can to
have this act become law. l believe law
should be enacted requiring grantors of
real estate to give a good description of
the lot of land conveyed, with permanent
boundary marks, by placing either stone or
concrete markers, so-called, at the place
of beginning and at each and every angle.
This could be done at small expense, and
without doubt, in many instances, would
avoid litigation and the expense of a
thorough search of the records with I'M
satisfactory results.
Some provision should be made for the
innocent person committed to prison
through an error, to be reimbursed by
the State as far as possible and consistent
with the earning capacity of the person,
after proof sufficient to establish the in
nocence beyond doubt has been pro-
duced. / believe person SO incarcerated
should be liberated with compensation
equal to his earning capacity, instead of
the usual pardon, suit of clothes and a
, ten dollar bill.
If nominated and elected, l shall work
for the equalization of taxation, better in
surance laws, and for the general good of
the people of Hancock county and the
State, to the best of my ability.
M. d. CHATTo.
