" had 134.75. Tucker says he was lying on his

. . fob him. He says Walters had clutched his
tbroat and was choking him to death and
that ha was struggling for his life when he

three-Inch pocketknlfe blade.
Walters turns the story around exactly
and says Turker was trying to rob him
and plunged the knife Into htm when he
resisted, and that ha then seised Tucker by
ythe throat and would have choked him to
death If Carl Taylor, a switchman, had not
rah up and pulled them apart. Taylor held

ing weather and maintained a aafe tem
perature In hi orchard while lea was form-
ng an Inch thick In fields and orchards

lfl.ftOQ gallons of crude oil, deposited It In
n underground reservoir on a hillside and
piped Into his orchard so that the fire pots
could be replenished with the least po
slblt delay. As a result of his forethought
and enterprise he saved gnore than W per
cent of his" apple -crop and will' have
crop this year worth more than 110,000.

' In announcing my candidacy for the republican nomination
for governor, I wish to make a brief statement of my attitude rel
ative to matters of most public concern.
Clean Government Paramount
v While it ia inevitable that new questions of pressing im
portance will arise from year to
dent government I deem always
I was the zealous advocate of
would not entitle me to public
Btand for today, but what has been my attitude in the past that
should be the real measure of my value as a public servant.
Within the sphere of my limited influence, I have always con
tended for clean men and clean
whatever beside may be essential, that unless built on this foun
dation an enduring republic is hopeless.
Record in Public Life
I have been a resident of Nebraska nearly thirty-four years,
port of that time engaged in newspaper work and the remainder
in commercial pursuits. My office-holding record is" confined to
two terms in the legislature in the house in 1889 and the senate
in 1903. In the session of 1889 1 was fortunate in being permitted
to aid in accomplishing the defeat and downfall of the best organ
ized and most corrupt lobby ,

of the state saline lands, r prepared and introduced the bill pro
viding for the submission of

necured his acknowledgement of the
woman's algnature to a divorce petition,

In the suit Grace M. Evan I the plain
tiff and H. A. Evan I named defendant.
The petition doe not state where they
were married or where the present resi
dence of either is located, but early In the

made that Mr. Evan la worth $25,000 and
that Mrs. Evan demand $S,000 of thl a

sion of 1905.' The adoption of this amendment, together with the
legislation enacted to give it effect, have worked a beneficent
reform felt in every department
cated and voted for an anti-pass bill in the same session. Though
not a member when passed, I advocated the primary law, believing
then and now that it is desirable, not alone to bring the govern
ment near to the people, but what is of greater importance, to
awaken in the individual voter a keener sense of the responsi
bilities of citizenship. While the law may not have realized in
full the anticipations of its most zealous advocates, yet I confi
dently believe that it is destined to be a tower of strength to good
government. ,
Politics Subordinate to Efficiency
I have always affiliated with the republican party, whose
candidate I now aspire to be, but I firmly believe that the high
eat partisan -service is rendered by an honest effort to demon
strate that the party with which one affiliates is the best medium
through which to attain good government. I do not believe in
making he public institutions havens for indigent politicians, or
auxiliaries of a political machine, but that they should be con
ducted on strictly prudent business lines, always with a view to
the welfare of the inmates.

this law, however, ia purely
the executive has nothing to
approval or disapproval. If
tatives demanded thia legislation, I should deem it my duty, if
governor, to approve. I do not construe the power of veto vested
in the chief executive to be a personal asset, but a discretionary
power necessary to vest in some
grave emergencies and possible invasions of the constitution.
To threaten in advance of its enactment the veto of this legisla
tion might consistently be supplemented by the threat to invoke
the pardoning power in behalf of every violator of the law, should
the veto be disregarded.
For Tift-Roosevelt Policies
I believe that President Taft is in full sympathy with the
policies of Mr. Roosevelt, and that his axlniinistration will merit
and receive general commendation. There has been no wiser
legislation in recent years than that creating a tariff commission,
giving assurance that future legislation will be based on a more
impartial, scientific and less sectional and partisan basis.
With this purely personal statement, I submit my candi
dacy. Should the people see fit to nominate and elect me gover
nor, I will devote to their service whatever of experience and
ability I may possess, animated by the sincere desire to admin
ister their affairs in a dignified, economical and business-like
manner. A. E. OADY.
