JAMES +. MURRAY
Dated at Helena, this 18th day OF May,
1884.
In connection with his filing Mr..
Murray made the following statement j:
Il am interested in the future Of Il
State, its mining, its agriculture and
its industrial development. My family
and my interests are anchored here.
| feel that | can be Of effective service
to the people of my State and my
Country. 1t was with this thought in
view that | decided to become a can
didate for the senate seat in the COM
ing election.
1T is manifest that a powerful eff
fort is being made to dispossess the
President of his influence and control
in Congress. Under the cloak of al
legged patriotism and the constitution
an irrational dishonest move is on foot
to discredit President Roosevelt and
destroy his influence. The air is flood
ed with this dishonest agitation, based
on hypocrisy or ignorance intended to
destroy the efforts of Roosevelt to
rescue our country from this deadly
depression.
1T will be necessary therefore to
nominate and elect men, whose re-
cords are clear and who will be loyal
in their support of the President and
policies men who will support
him unflinchingly.
IF elected l will pledge myself to
energetically and u|nequivocally sup
port him in all his efforts to promote
National welfare. | will maintain and
support the various policies and re-
forms he has SO ably put before the
Congress and is now seeking to carry
into effect. l will uphold his arm in
all his great efforts to put more hon
esty and fairness into our business and
industrial life, and bring about a more
equitable distribution of profits and
Of opportunity in our country.
81 believe | am expressing the deep
Of the honest and thoughtful
people of our country when | say that
if President Roosevelt can have the
patriotic support and moral backing Of
country for a few more years,
America will not only emerge from
his depression, but will surely become
he happiest and most prosperous
country in the world ~ a country
where men and women will be able
o live under conditions of equality
If opportunity and scale Of living the
ike OF which has never before existed
anywhere"
