among other things, more economy
and higher efficiency in the matter OF
grain inspection. Also the revision Of
insurance and other rates so as to pre-
vent unjust discrimination against our
country districts; thereby enabling
them to have advantages Of their To-
cations.
"Last year, just to put them on
their feet, I managed the Farmers P0-
tato Warehouse here, and while we
made no money, we established good
market, and the farmers really got the
benefit.
"This district is a veritable empire
within itself, for we have a14ple tim
ber for fuel, the best Of agriculture
and grazing lands, and an abundance
Of iron ore; consequently we can live
without assistance from outside
sources, and should congratulate our
selves, that we are not menaced by
anything whatsoever.
"We have men Of experience and
Of ability; and many young men-in
whom I am especially interested-for
they are the hope Of the world. We
want them to have broad viewpoint,
and to lend a helping hand to make
this not only great industrial dis
<rict, but one famous for its happy and
prosperous farmers and working men.
~ have been resident Of this dis
trict for 35 years, and if elected to
congress will stand by President VIII
son in all things except the tariff
for the next two years. I should be
lacking in vision and patriot
ism were I to do less, for I believe
him to be honest and conscientious,
and sincerely hope all good citizens
regardless Of party will uphold him
during the present crisis. ~
"we in this country-more than
ever before-hold in our hands the
hope of the world, the fate Of the com.
ing years; and shame and disgrace
will be ours, if in our eyes the light
Of high resolve is dimmed or if we
trail in the dust the hopes Of men.
eff on this continent we build up
another country Of unjustly divided
material prosperity, we will have done
nothing; and we will do less if we sci
the greed Of envy against the greed
of arrogance, and thereby destroy the
permanent well being Of us all.
tFor the rich-in portions Of the
old world-it seemed easier each day
to become richer; but it became harder
than ever for their great body Of 1-er
and women to earn decent living, o.
lay up dollar against sickness OF ole
age. These were the conditions IL
many places, and also in Mexico wher'
paonange prevailed. and of course
there could be but one result-war
As an American I favor tariff sui
ficiently high, to keep out foreign pro
ducts that come into competition witt
our own, but without knocking every
thing, I would encourage our manu-
facturers every where, to go afte
their share of the trade of the world
This would give employment to labo
and keep our money at home, whic]
in itself is enough to make any coun
try great. I also favor the upbuildini
of our merchant marine, which if prop
erly handled should increase the valu
Of every farm, and bring about genu
inc equilibrium between agriculture
industry and commerce.
"In future politicians-who h v
gone to extremes to hold offce-wi]
find it hard to get an audience 70
they have failed to make good an
really done nothing; whereas if the
. would take. advantage Of present or
portunities, or prove themselves caps
Bile Of taking hold of statesmenlik
measures, this country would blosso1
like rose.
ct would consider it the cr0wnin
, glory Of my life, to have the grea
. honor and privilege of representing tn
people of this district in congress an
,, believe me when say that I will striv
, in all earnestness and sincerity
accomplish more in the next 10 year
for the district and for the 'bette1
ment Of humanity than has been don
, in the last ten.
, ttThese are progressive principle
, which sooner or later must prevail an
! if deemed worthy I would thank 20
for your hearty support, which ik
bread cast upon the waters will r.
turn to you many fold, and the resu1
will be the greatest good to tn
greatest number Shall look forwar
with confidence to the outcome in tn
Ides of November, and hereby person
ally guarantee to every man, and ey
