10 Edward Rosewater's Record and Views on Public Issues TIIE OMAftA DATL1 BEE: srXDAV. NOVEMBER 4. 1000. 2 To the Voters of Nebraska: For more thin a quarter of a century I have advocated the eltJon of United State senators by direct rote of the people- All effort to Becnre this rlpht for the people by amendment of the constitution of the United States, however, have failed np to this time. The nearest ap proach to popular selection of United State senators has been made in thi ftate. where the people have a right under the state, constitu tion to Instruct their representatives In the legislature by an expres sion of preference at the ballot box. In proof of my sincerity as an advocate of the dlrecj popular election of senators I have appealed for an expression of public sentiment under the constitutional provision by having my name placed on the oSdal ballot at the comtnc election. While standing upon the declara tions of the republican party In its national platform. 1 am committed also to certain reforms which In my Judgment are demanded In the In terest of the American people. Kara In favor of the establishment of postal savings banks in which the earnings of the people will be safely guarded through panic and depression. 1 am In favor of tbe lostal telegraph and the widest extension of postal facilities to the people. 1 believe that corporations are creatures of tbe state and should be regulated and controlled by the state While I favor public supervi sion of corporations, 1 am by no means In favor of confiscating their property, either by prescribing' ruinous rates or excessive taxation. In other words. I fivor such legislation rs will protect the people against extortion and discrimination by corporate monopolies, but at the same time am opposed to any legislation that would prevent them from earn ing fair Interest on honest investment. My career In Nebraska, which covers a period of thirty-seven years. Is a sufficient guaranty that If elected to tbe United State snate I shall labor with all my ability and energy to promote the welfare and material prosjerity of tbe state and nation and shall always hold my self accessible to every citizen of Nebraska who has a claim ujKn my services or time, no matter bow bumble or joor.

Tbe people have no reaedy Their vijhes are thwarted and their interests dis regarded because they are virtually without a voice in electing their representatives la the United States senate. TVe are in favcr rf leav.ng to tbe people the election, not only of their governora. Judges and legls lators, but alo of their United States senators At various times since the above date the aaae srntlaents have been given editorial expression la The Bee. Postal Telegraph The establishaeat ot a postal telegraph systea by the governaent has always been strongly advocated by Mr Roseater In 1E71 he said that the civil war could have been shortened by from oae to two years had the telegraph beea uader the coatrol of the federal government, and that within tbe last ten jears the governaent paid aore for its telegraphic service than would have been required to build every llae In the United States. As a member of tbe legis lature ct 1171 he Introduced a memorial to congress praying for the adoption of aay measures teadlng to, place the telegraph un der the control of th governaent.
