More Like Crusade Than Political Campaign.

the work I did, with other pro-
gressives cooperating, and because
the people have found that Con-
gress betrayed them, the progress
sives have grown strong enough
to command both the fear and re-
spect of the present and future
Congresses. For this reason, I am
prepared to 60 back and finish the
work I planned in my ten years in
Congress.
''There is not time for one person
to campaign the entire state. l
shall not try to. 1t is not my
campaign alone, but it is our -
the peoples / have an
undisputed record of supporting
everything that the people require
for the common good of all. some
of the present, most urgent needs
ars;.
ers and industrial workers to or
ganize for cooperation in collective
marketing and buying to reduce the
margin between what the working
producers are paid and what the
working consumers pay.
20. Legislation to abolish the in
junction now being used as a whip
for the big employer to tie and en-
slave the employee.
20. Immediate reform of the
financial system, for relief from
money stringency by taking monop-
oily from big banks, and giving
more freedom to small banks In
making home loans, and reducing
interest rates to cut down debts
and create more nearly cash
exchange basis. The distribution of
money to be suspervised by the gov
eminent instead Of Federal Reserv-
es, which would incidentally stop
big bankers from enslaving smaller
banks. Reduced interest rates will
lower debts and taxes, with which
we are over burdened. Farmers
and home builders everywhere must
be assisted in securing honest
money and not pay tribute to
financial kings.
"a. A bonus to all World War
ex-service- men and women. If pos
sible same to be collected from war
and other profiteers, but the bonus
not to be contingent, nor postponed
to await that means of collection.
"5. Keep America from entang-
ling foreign alliances.
"6. Means of preserving peace.
War seldom corrects wrongs, but
generally creates racial prejudices
that last for generations and stir
up more wars. Our government this
year IS spending $2,327,002,667 for
military expense and the total other
federal government expenses are
$386,855,219. In other words, our
government spends $3.50 out of
every $4,000 for militarism.
81. Adjustment of water and rail
transportation to aid in securing
better service and closer proximity
between producers and consumers,
both here and abroad.
IS. Adjustment of tariffs to facil-
itate commerce and avoid the crea-
ton of monopoly.
'The above are just few urgent
things that define my position in a
general way. My stand is not made
i. words alone. The records show.
A few reminders are:. They told us
that the Federal Reserves would
free us from the money power.
| In Congress at the time I warned
the people that they would increase
powers of the big bankers. We all
know what has happened. Feb. 18th,
1917, impeached the Federal Reserve
| Board to stop them from creating a
monopoly of money in America.
Congress dared not force the hand
of the money power, and what have
the Federal Reserves done? They
have left the people to the mercy
Of financial buccaneers to be robbed,

They spent millions i'm various ex-
