A Message From Frederick ID. Gardner,
Democratic Candidate for Governor.

Il believe the closing week of this campaign comes as
a relief to all candidates.
l. feel sure that the friends of some OF the candidates
who have circulated malicious stories about me must now
regret their action, as it must be apparent to them 1nat my
nomination is assured.
months that have passed and to be able to say that ! have
not spoken unkindly of any other Candidate; neither nave
my friends been permitted to do SO with my approval
The long lead my candidacy has had from the pegm,,
ming has tempted some to make r%egrettable statements and
attacks. This opposition, divided among six men, cannot
prevail against my farmer friends and my city support
have, during my entire candidacy, neither mace q SIN
gle promise of appointment for Office, nor sought support by
holding out inducements of that kind, so that, as Governor,
/ shall be free to select men, without regard 10 Iacuon, VINO

have not entered into any deal or private understand
ing with any organization, corporation, cnque or Iactlon, 50
will not be under obligations to carry out a pre-elecuon
agreement, and will be free to advocate or oppose measures
as they come to me upon the sole basis Of their merit:
Many Endorsements have come to my candidacy Wltnoul
solicitation either from myself or my friends.
My forefathers have all been consistent Democrats, anu
/ have always supported my party nominees ana platlorMs;
In the present campaign l desire that every one shoulu
know Of my high regard and political fealty for woodrow
Wilson, and believe his election IS OF fr more Importance
than my own.
which may come to me under any other impression may nave
time in which to change, if through a mlsapprenenslon OF
fact they maintain any other view.
Important questions await solution by Ihe next eglsld-
ture,-the budget system, rural credits, code reform ana
workmen's compensation, together with many other PROB
lens must be settled rightly,
teriect the Vet and dry question and to align candidates as
extremists on one side or the other.
This question hay be solved by the direct vote Of the
people in the November election. in the form of a %constitu-
tional amendment.
Ihave refused to enter into a secret understanding with
either side and have not, even by indirection, made a pro
mise to either side.
My position on this matter is exactly the same as that
of President Woodrow Wilson, which is SO well known that
it does not require repetition.
shall follow the law and not the wishes or commands
Of extremists. Following the law, will represent the wish
es of the sane and sober judgment Of all the people, and It
viii he the law and the voice of the majority, expressed at
the polls on in legislative action, which will be my guide.
MY whole campaign has been with all the people Of the
ind hope to maintain in my acts as Governor"

Attention, Democratic Voters.
To the voters Of Lafayette
County:
That l have been unable to.
call on you in behalf Of my can
didacy for Lieutenant Governor
is due solely to the fact that i
have been spending my time for
twelve weeks in more distant
counties, where my acquaintance
and friendship are more limited.
have tried to serve you faith
fully in the Legislature, and l
ask for your votes on August J.,
that my own friends and neigh
bors give me a hearty endorse
ment. There is no doubt in my
mind about winning the nominal
ton, and l am especially anxious
that counties adjoining Johnson,
and all counties in the Sixth
Congressional District shall cast
practically solid vote for me.
There is no other candidate
for Lieutenant Governor in our
section your interests could not
be served by voting for another
my record is clean, straight and
democratic there is nothing in
it for which the party will have
to apologize or make defense, and
n shall greatly appreciate it if
you will take an interest in this
matter, so that it may not be
overlooked on the day Of the pri-
mary.

your County are for me, and ash
that they do not permit then

Federal land bank sums of
money to be loaned to its mem
bers.
When a borrower wishes to OBJ
tain money he becomes a mem
Der Of a national farm loan as
sociation and makes applica-
ton to the secretary-treasurer,
who submits this application
to the local loan committee. The
application must be accompan-
led by an agreement to take 5
per cent of the amount Of the
loan in stock in the Federal land
bank Of the district. When the
loan is approved, as provided by
law, the applicant becomes a
member of the National Farm
loan association and obtains his
loan from the Federalla land bank.
While the applicant who may
have property sufficient to en-
title him to a $1,000 loan ac-
tually gets, in cash in hand, but
$3.50 $3.50 being invested in
stock of the Federal land bank
he is entitled to all the profits
made on the stock. Further
more, when the loan is paid off
he is credited with the $50 worth
of stock, and it is then cancelled.
In addition to the purchase of
$50 worth Of stock, the appli-
cant for $1,000 signs an agree
ment guaranteeing a liability to
the extent Of 10 per cent, or
twice the amount Of the stock.
When the borrowers loan has
been liquidated his stock is can
celled and the agreement is at
an end.
The borrower regulates the
period Of time for the loan to.
run-from 5 to 40 years. Sup
pose the loan is for $1,000 to
run 20 years at 6 per cent to be
paid on the amortization plan,
which is an annual payment con-
sisting Of part Of the principal
and interest. BY making a total
annual payment of S87I9 for
20 years, or S1,743.46 all told,
the interest would be kept up
and the principal wiped out. As
the calculation Of principal and
interest on $1,000 for 20 years
at 6 per cent totals $4,000, the
saving on $1,000 loan through
the amortization plan is S456.54

ing long term loans on real es-
tate on the amortization plan.
BY the amortization plan is
meant, the application for the

Reports OF the impending general
