The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1922-11-02
TO THE ELECTORS OF LOGAN AND
SEDGWICK COUNTESS:

! would state In q general way that
l hope. II elected as your Representa-
tive in the next General Assembly, to
be Of some service in promoting your
real interests.
The expenses OF running your state
government have become enormous
and ii | can find any way, or assist in
| any way, to cut them down without
mpairing the efficiency Of your state
institutions. l will certainly do SO.
and thus, IL possible. reduce your
| taxation to the extent of my ability.
From youth up. with ME the hope Of
my country has been in securing tor
our people better education. In
TACT, ! feel that to insure the exist
ence and perpetuity OF our free insti-
tutions. We must provide for. and in
sure to the growing generations of
our citizenship. education in the fun
uamentals of citizenship. And as our
retered candidate for State Super
lntendent. Mrs. c. {. Bradford, has
| expressed 1t, we must teach our
youths to think straight So
I that whatever | can do to secure more
efficiency in our schools and higher
institutions of learning that will be
| any pleasure to do.
But first. last and at all times it
will be my aim and intent to do all
that IA legislative body can do to in
culcate in the minds OF all our citi-
zensnip d respect for our laws. In
| 40 other way can q free government
he maintained.
| have been asked great many
iuestions as to how | would vote on
tarious proposed measures. Some Of
the proposed measures are good and
co:amendable and deserving OF enact
ment and which ! would willingly
support Especially have | been ask
~ed how stood on prohibition, AS
TO that question | consider 1t set
tied and not at all an issue and since
the people have voted it that way and
We have State and National Constitu-
iional amendments fOrbidding the
sac OF intoxicants, | am in favor OF
All honest enforcement Of the laws on
| that subject 1t is generally known,
believe, that voted against prohi-
biton, simply because | did not con-
slider it was good move for the tenn
perance cause. have always been
il temperate man myself and have in
sisted that the effects Of intoxicants
be taught to our children in our
schools and families. But because |
knew that boy or girl could not be
taught to swim without going into the
water, | did not believe that we could
make IA temperate people by legisia-
lion any more than we can make
religious people by legislation.
But AS ! said, there is NO salvation
ior our laws and | am in favor OF Civ
ing the prohibition law fair chance
| and enforce same just as We should
enforce all other laws. =
There are SO many subjects that
are forcing themselves before our
| legislative bodies that ! will not be
able even to refer to them. More
and more economic measures are call
ing for action by our legislatures.
| The people Of our state, owning
thousands Of acres and millions OF
| IONS of coal are jutly inquiring why
| tEev should sell this coal to corpora
| lions at fifteen cents per ton anu
then buv it back at $14.0O per ton.
guess that we are ali agreed that
there is an injustice somewhere along
the line reaching from the mines to
the consumer and if the same can ba
alleviated or remedied by anything
that can do that will be my aim and
!.ient. if elected.
Ever and always keeping in mind
that your public officials are your
servants and not in any sense your
Government. except in SO far as they
by law represent you, the people,
.in,
Your obedient servant,
VIM l.. HAYS.
