WHO IS THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR?
To the Republicans of Wapello County:
/ submit my candidacy for the republican nomi-
nation for State Senator for your consideration with
the firm conviction that my views on public ques-
tions comedies with that Of the majority Of the repub
can voters Of Wapello county.
You have shown by your votes time and again
that you believe in conservative, constructive leader
ship and policies.
The slogan Of the republican party has ever been
Work for workingmen, business for business men,
and prosperity for the farmer" Such condition
only be maintained by the constant exercise of COM
mon sense in the making of laws to govern the rela
tlonshlp between men.
Business can be hampered by il-advised laws just
as surely as it can be aided by good legislation.
A question which is agitating Iowa at this time
is the reason for the loss in population. firmly be-
ieve that one Of the causes is too much legislation
Wouldbe reformers in their zeal to regulate business
have regulated it out of the state
1t is plain to me that the only way to build up
Iowa is to build up its manufacturing industries and
this be done by more liberal incorporation and
taxation laws The doctrine Of protection to Amer-
can industries might be made to apply to protec-
ton to Iowa industries"
believe in the integrity of the Constitution of q
the State of Iowa and since its purpose is to guard
the interests of the people against hasty legislation it
should be strictly adhered to-
believe it is the intent of the Constitution that
measures such the capitol extension act should be
submitted to a vote Of the people: Therefore, #
elected, will do everything possibly can to right
the wrong which has been done the people OF Iowa
in contracting this debt without their approval
believe every effort should be made to conduct
our state government in economical manner to the
end that the burden of taxation be made as light as
possible
If nominated and elected shall endeavor to rep
resent Wapelo county in sane, sensible manner.
am not a crank any SUBJECT and have no hobby to
impose on the people.
shall be open at all times to suggestions and
shall act appears to be best for the general welfare
Having served you as member Of the House Of
Representatives and since my record has never been
seriously criticised feel that qualified to act as
Senator.
MY previous experience will enable me to at once
take an active part in the legislative proceedings.
The question to be decided by republicans at this
primary not what they think Of the record Of the
democratic candidate but who of the republican can
didates will best them in the next legislature
The Spirit of rs" will be subject for consideration in
the fall campaign.
Who is the logical candidate? One whom the
people have elected who was defeated!
One who has been tried and his record approved B
or one whose future conduct matter Of specula-
ton?
If nominated, I am confident can be elected 4
wish to thank my many friends who have so ]
generously aided me in this campaign. 1t shall be my
constant endeavor to merit the confidence reposed in
me.
Yours truly,
EDWARD J. MOORE
Candidate for Nomination for State Senator on the
Republican Ticket
