In accepting the fling made III
my behalf Tor the republican nomina-
ton Tor United States senator. | feel
Il necessary Tor me TO frankly say
10 those who have conilded and
trusted in me, that il the people OF
Nebraska sincerely ieel can ell
iec,ivcly represent this state IN con-
gress. | shall do all in my power
10 prove worthy OF that confidence,
My personal means will not per-
nit my making campaign for this
or any other Office. even were | IN
clined 10 do so. have given my
time for 10 years 10 advancing CO.
operative marketing. have not
saved any money Tor myself from
that work. My prof, has been the
keen personal satisfaction OF seeing
the certain development OF sound,
safe and conservative producers
marketing agencies which ultimate
ly mean prosperity and better con-
ditions Tor all classes in Nebraska.
Stands on Record.
The people OF Nebraska have had
an opportunity to know me and my
purposes and achievements from my
activities in this state. believe
that what little may have &C
complished during my more than 81
years residence in Nebraska offers
the public better information as to
my worthincss OF their support than
could any mere words which | might
speak or~write at this time.
II believe that the gene. n pros
perty OF the producers is OF first im
portance to the prosperity OF the
entire people OF Nebraska. | do
not believe that the farmer can
solve his problems through special
legislation for his special advantage.
| do not believe in special legisla-
ton or special privileges for the
farmer or for any other class.
.Every occupation, whatever it
may be. constitutes part OF some
class OF business. Each has its
rights and should be insured its equal
and just consideration; but none
should be given any special ad-
vantage or privileges over the other.
] have been called before many con-
gressional committees and | am
afraid that sectional representatives
in legislative halls too often think
and vote under the influence of sell
fish home influences and too often
forget the needs OF the great mass
Of the unorganized public.
Keeps Interests in Mind.
Without attempting to specify or
enumerate any specific evils or REM
edies for them. the voters in Ne
braska may be sure, should l be
elected to represent this state il the
senate. l shall want to keep upper
most in my thoughts the equal
needs and interests of both the pro-
Queer and consumer as the basis of
general prosperity and contentment
and always act to their joint in
terest.
All of my time during the past
years has been given to the develop
ing, as best l could together with
others, the organization and estab-
lishment of producers marketing
agencies. And it is no little salts
faction to me to know that the pres
ent congress and also the adminlstra-
ton, has recently announced that
these marketing agencies must be
recognized, encouraged and pro-
tccted.
Depends on Supporters.
81 want my friends and supporters
to know that my immediate and per-
sonal thoughts and efforts are con-
centrated on the completion of these
organizations. Until these agencies
are in operation | cannot neglect or
refuse to give my constant attention
to my obli""' - under
takings, even though my candid
suffer from my >.so"~. nonatten-
ton.
Many important and vital ques-
tons are now before congress. New
ones will come up as these are dis
posed OF. On all such questions l
shall act as my knowledge and in
formation of the best needs and in.
terests of Nebraska shall dictate. If
chosen to represent Nebraska in
the United States senate, it must
come to me through the efforts of
appreciated friendship and confidence
Of the people OF this state"
