BuzzELL ANNOUNCES
HIS CANDIDACY

l.
for the seat made vacant by the
death of u. S. Senator Fernald In the
following statement, wherein he OPP
poses the World Court and any tam
pering with the 18th Amendment and
favors universal CONSUMPTION in time
Of war and economy programs:
"There seems to be a genuine de-
sire on the part Of many citizens
and voters OF our State for at least
another Republican candidate to en-
ter the field and compete for the
high office of United States Senator"
says Mr.. Buzzell in his statement
wherefore I have consented to be
a candidate, fully approaching the
honor, and the great responsibility
connected Herewith.
ut is my purpose to make a con-
else statement expressing my views
on some of the subjects and issues
most interesting TO the people OF our
state and nation at this time.
"a The Republican party has
existed for about 70 years, and for
the most part our Country's great
record of achievement has been made
by this party.
by Republican policies the United
States has developed and become the
greatest agricultural anu iuuuSli lai
nation in the world.
Il am only too proud to enlist my
services to work for a continuation
of this wonderful record and the
great policies behind it that have
been the means of making our coun-
try the greatest and most prosperous.
with its people the most free and
happy of all the earth.
ssr'ha nn1icu NJ eSnnOyy1v that
has been advocated and adopted in
both our state and in the Nation
meets with my hearty approval and
If nominated and elected ! shall assist
the administration to carry out this
policy until the burden of taxation is
reduced to minimum.
80 THE agriculturists have al
ready been over politically exploited.
| was born on farm and am fully
conscious of the truth of the old say
ing. You can take boy out Of the
country but YOU can't take the coun-
try out of the boy
To-day farmers read and are well
informed. All they ask for is not TO
be over burdened with taxation and
TO be aided by such benefcent legis-
lation as will place them on an even
footing with other industries.
o. "Of the two children OF gov
eminent. Capital and Labor. Capital
has always been very healthy child,
and / believe that labor desires only
fair division of the profits from
honest effort.
60 Il am not in favor of med
ding with, modifying or repeating
the 18th amendment.
(e) The World Court is grand In
theory, but unsound in practice, in
any event l am unalterably opposed
TO it, Legislation providing for Uni
versal Consumption in event OF war
where everybody will serve and all
will pay in my judgment is the san
est pacificism can conceive.
a. Tariff and Protection has
contributed in a very great measure
In the making Of our country what
il is today, but not until recently
have we seriously considered pro-
tecting America for Americans.
I'm our last Congress the House
passed a bill providing for the de-
portation OF aliens who violate tie
laws of our land and if memory
serves me right. it is still pending
in the Senate. 1t should be made
law as soon as possible.
immigration should be controlled and
regulated so as to best protect Amer
lea and American labor.
50 Il have always been firm
friend of the Direct Primary Law
and since 1917. have been member
of either the House or the Senate of
our state. and have always helped
to successfully stand off any and all
attempts TO destroy what I consider
one of the peoples blessings of self
government"
at has been said that only mill
lionaires can succeed in getting Of
fee. This statement I do not credit.
II do not propose and will not ex-
pend in my campaign even what the
law allows.
1.-THE primary law so far as the ex-
penditure of money is concerned is
all right in itself. but it is the candi-
date who abuses it by the expenditure
of enormous and unlawful sums.
1.-THE time is short from now I'M
til the primary election is held, and
because of the fact that l am just
recovering from rather a severe ILL
ness. it will be impossible for me to
see as many of the citizens and vot-
ers of Maine as l would like to inter-
view. II my statement above meets
with your approval. shall very much
appreciate your support.
This special primary election in
Maine is occasioned by the passing
of the most loved and honored man
in public life in our generation, the
Hon. Bert NJ. Fernald.
In the event OF my selection to
succeed him, it will be my sincere
N,,S
loyal service Of Names most
n1ourned public servant"
