VOTERS TO SUP
PORT HONEST MEN
Simeon Nielsen Writes Letter From
Fonda, Iowa to the Voting Public
Asking for Honest Officials in Of
flee.


Fonda, Iowa.
A Question to the Honest
Citizens of the u. S. A.:
Honest men and women voters and
citizens of the U. S., permit me to
ask you one very important question:
VIII you help by your vote to save
our beloved country from disaster by
supporting honest men with your
vote, and only support honest men
men that money can't buy to be dis
honest; men that friendship can't buy
to be dishonest; men that are not
controlled by any organization, but
whose life and work prove that he is
an honest and faithful man to our
country and people, remembering the
common peoples welfare is the ma
TONS welfare, as it is the common
people who feed and clothe the ma
ton, and in regard to that, the ma
TONS strength depends on the wei
fare of the common people.
But it seems as though the common
peoples welfare was not taken into
consideration, when the railroads
were guaranteed 51a or 6 per cen5 in
terest. On thu amount there was
paid interest on huge amount Of
watered stock, and let US remember
U,:a Federal Reserve Banks call liz the
money from the country banks and
in tina, way compel the farmers 10
sell heir crops for less than it can
be produced, but the directors for the
Federal Reserve Bank loans the
money out to some big bankers as
the money comes in from the country
banks and don'fethe big banks loan
oag the money again at extra high
rates to spectators then again buys
the farmers crop for less than pro-
duction cost, which again ruins the
nations strength, as it ruins the COM
mon people for the benefit of a few
The question is therefore, shall the
nations strength be ruined for the
benefit of a few or who shall have
possession of this cOuntry-the man
who saves it Gu the men who seek to
destroy it for their own benefit.
Let US turn our eyes to Washington
and see what the Senate committees
found. They investigated the oil
business, the War Veterans Bureau,
the Internal Revenue probes, the De-
partment of Justice, the U. S. Ship
ping Board, the aeroplane manufac-
turing. the government land with Rio
de Grande, and the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing and talk about du-
i plicatiOn of Government bonds. It
seems to look bad and let US remem-
Der that those men that have done
/ all that dishonest business generally
belong to that part of the people that
used to tell OF the 100 per cent Ameri-
cans, and his condition brings up this
question: "Who shall have possession
OF this ccuntry-the man that saves
IT or the man who seeks to DESTROY
It Z" A long time has passed since our
I constitution was drawn up and time
has changed many things and makes
1t necessary to amend cur Constitu-
ton Is times, but what is going on
at this time again proves that the
Constitution should be amended. One
OF The first ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS should
pc: direct vote for president and vice
president, direct vote for Judges of
the Y. 5. Supreme Court with terms
OF not over four years, direct vote fol
all Federal Judges with terms of not
over TWO years, referendum law and
law to- recall any officers from office
with petitions signed by 35 per cent
OF the voters and the railroads taken
over by the government for its real
value, as it will serve the country
better and cheaper. We only need ia
see What Henry Ford has done anc
That any officers, Federal or State Cd
County that is convicted of any
crime, fraud, false statement or false
report or failure % enforce the law
IN his official duty. lose his citizen.
Ilght and same person be punished
from fcCr to ten times as much as ;
private citizen for the same crime
and that sentence is regulated accord
ing TO the crime, as we have seen
poor man sent to the prison for years
Tor having stolen less than one dolla
and rich men sentenced to from en-,
TO Ilve years in prison for having
! stolen S4O,O 900 and that is not right
and also that the president of tn,
! United States or Governors of an,
state can not pardon any officer O
! any one who has done any fraud O.
CRIME against the u. S., or state, O.
county, but any such person can onl,
be pardoned by a majority of tn
/ voters Ter the Office, and can't Obtain
: any license for any business until tn
! voters say so, when he is pardoned
: but IN any case his citizens right an
t right to obtain license must be fv
years from date of conviction.
Dear friends. honest men and WON

states, let us do all We possibly ca
