where their candidate stands on the Issues
involved in this election, and believing
that candidates before election should state
publicly and unequivocally what they are
in favor of, and what they will. undertake
to do if elected, I hereby pledge myself as
follows:
1. I will support any and alt measures
which will bring about the election of
United States senators by direct vote of

2. I will support a law making it com
pulsory upon all political parties to publish
a complete statement of campaign contri
butions before election.
3. I will favor a law providing that in
all cases of indirect contempt of court, the
party so accused shall be tried by a jury,
the same ns any other person accused of
crime.
4. I will favor a reduction of the pres
ent tariff to an extent that foreign compe
tition will compel American manufactur
ers to sell their products to American con
sumers as cheaply as they sell them to
consumers in any foreign country; and that
all agricultural machinery, fencing, build
ing material, and alt household utensils be
placed on the free list.
5. I will favor an amendment of the
so called Railroad Rate Dill, now in force,
which will provide that pending an appeal
to tbe federal courts, the order of the inter
state commerce commission, whether
making a new rate, or which is made for
the purpose of preventing an existing dis
crimination, shall be and remain in force
pending the appeal in the federal courts.
G. I shall favor an amendment to the
federal constitution providing for an in
heritance and income tax.
7. I shall favor an amendment to the

applicable to this district, which will give
the homesteader the same rights of com
mutation, and making final proof, as are
enjoyed in other localities by homesteaders
under the general homestead law of the
country.

posits in all national banks will be guaran
