AN OPEN LETTER
TO M. P. KINKAID
BY CAPTAIN AKERS.
The writer, V. R. Akcrs, it a prominent republican and has served the
party in pnblic office. He served in the state senate and was the author of the
present irlgation law; he was elected the first secretary ot the state board of
Irrigation and held that position until he was appointed receiver of the U. S.
land office at Alliance by President McKtnley, in which place he served for
eight years. He is still a republican but refuses to support Moses forever:
Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid,
O'Neill, Nebraska.
Dear Sir: I am in receipt of a letter from James H. Hewitt of Alliance in
which he informs me that you have made the assertion on the train between
here and Alliance that I was going around the country electioneering against
you. Now this Is absolutely untrue. The fact is that I have not been able
the past year to go around the country to any considerable extent. I have
been as far from here as Mitchell, Morrill and Gering. And I believe I have
stated in each of these towns that I was not going to vote for you. Is that
electioneering? If so, then I am guilty. Mr. Hewitt also informs me that
you stated that both Wilcox and I were opposed to him for reappointment.
Now, if you said that, you knew at the time it was false, because I have talked
to you by the hour in his interest as clerk and as successor to myself. The
general land oflice records will show that I always supported him for clerk,
and Senator Durkett will tell you that I made a trip to Lincoln to urge his ap
pointment as receiver to succeed me,
I did not, intend to do or say anything in a public way ngainst your nomi
nation, but intended to be satisfied in saying that I did not intend to vote for
your nomination. But since you have rushed in the open and set your tongue
wagging, allow me in this very unsatisfactory way to make some statements as
to why I will not support you.
In the first place, I believe your whole life has been a bundle of deceit. I
do not believe you ever made an honest statement in your whole life, or ever
fulfilled a promise unless you saw some gain for yourself. You deny any
responsibility for every failure on the part of securing any other benefit in
Washington .
You claim all the credit for every favor which anyone receives in Wash
ington. You claim credit for every pension or increase of pension of every
old soldier in the country, notwithstanding the had their attorneys and you
knew nothing of the case until it had been allowed; then you rush In and noti
fy the soldier that you secured It. I wonder how many old soldiers you think
you have hoodwinked in this manner? ,
You state in your announcement that "several years after his legislative
experience Mr. Kinkaid became district judge." Now, Judge, why did you
make that statement? Did you want to deceive someone? Is it not a fact
that you as senator introduced and passed the bill which formed and estab
lished the 15th judicial district in the state of Nebraska? What was the dis
trict doing all these several years without a judge? Why did you say "several
years after," if not to convey the idea that you had not always been in public
office since you came into manhood? Now, Judge, if Iam mistaken in this
matter, I am ready to acknowledge the corn when the proof is forthcoming.
And again, I ask if you have not been in public office ever since, except at the
most four years? And were you not .a candidate at every election after that
until you were finally elected? If not, I stand corrected when the proof is
shown.
I may be mistaken as to the year 1896. But 1 believe you thought you
would make an excellent supreme judge, and of course you could not be a can
didate for supreme judge and congress at the same time. While you were
judge you rendered your decisions as a grand stand play to the litigant and
bystanders, and you had the faculty of making the fellow upon whom you sat
down think you had rendered him a great favor. You have the faculty of
deceiving the unsophisticated and making them believe that you remember
and hold them in high esteem, when in fact you do not know them at all or re
member their names. ' How many hundred times have you approached men,
whom you did not know, and point out some fellow on the other side of the
street and ask, "Who is that fellow?" and, as soon as informed, make a rush
with extended hand and exclaim, "ijello, Hank," or hello Jim, or Charley, or
whatever his name might be. What did you do that for, Judge, if not to de
ceive someone? You never deceived anyone in this way but the unsophisti
cated. I understand, or at least am informed, that when you finally went off the
district bench you left cases which" you had under consideration and advise
ment you were afraid to decide for fear of making enemies in politics, and
which had to be retried enough to cost the litigants several thousand dollars
to retry. Do you think that a record to be proud of?
Why, then, when you were making up your record, did you not tell us
that you left a number of cases undecided because they smacked of politics, and
would have injured vour chances?
Why did you write this record us if the editor wrote it? Did you think
that the dear people never saw but one paper, or did you think we were so
thick-headed that we would not notice that the language Was the same in each
paper? How does this sound for an article written by the candidate himself
"The congressman's greatest legislative achievement is his one-section home
stead act, generally known as the Kinkaid act." That sounds much like some,
thing which happened a long time since in this country. Christopher Columbus
discovered America, so acknowledged by historians, but Amcricus Vespuccius
stole the name. Hon. Win, Neville, democratic congressman, conceived the
idea of the enlargement of the homestead bill, introduced it into congress; but
because he was off color with congress, politically, he was not able to pass it
When you came into his shoes you inherited the bill, and I have been inform
ed that you aud Judge Norris took this matter up and prepared this bill to
gether, and it was to be introduced jointly by you, and it would then be known
as the Kinkaid-Norris bill, or Norris-Kinkaid bill. How is this, Judge, have 1
been misinformed? 1 await to be shown.
While you actually got the credit for the passage of this bill, it would
seem better if it should have received the name of "Neville Bill," because Bill
Neville wrote the bill and tried to pass it, and would have done so only for the
reason that a democrat must not be allowed to get any credit. Why give
Roosevelt any credit? Did not you, judge and congressman Kinkaid, pass the
bill yourself? Did none of the other congressmen from Nebraska have any
thing to do with its passage' Did you get over into the senate and pass it
there alone? Oh, come now, judge, just be fair and say that you and Norris
dug up Hill Neville's bill out of the hies and remodelled it, and then you took
advantage of Norris and passed it without his assistance and got the name,
want you to say if this true, and, if not, don't say so, but say that it is not true.
1 have a few questions which I desire to ask you, and I want you to an
swer them through some newspaper in this district
Did you not lead Henry Reynolds to believe that you intended to support
him for the position ot receiver of the United States land office at Alliance on
my retirement? Did you not say to Henry Reynolds in Washington, when he
and Charles Cornell, of Valentine, were sent down there by the Western Ne
braska Cattle Association to assist you (and at your request) in passing a lease
bill, that "now you are here, we will have that land office mutter fixed up."
And did you not pretend to him that you were alone for him and that you
might have difficulty to get the senators to agree with you Did not Henry
Reynolds come back to you the same day and tell you that both senators had
informed him that they had agreed that you should settle the matter alone?
And did you not say, "Oh, they are lying to you"? And did you not, before
lie left you in Washington, admit to him that the senators had agreed that you
should make the appointment, but you state that you must give it to Ellis? Is
this true or not? I believe the story. If I am wrongly informed, I am from
Missouri show me.
Now, you told Hewitt that you could not control that appointment. Did
you not make it alone, without the intervention of any man on earth, and
with the consent of both senators' If not, show the proof. You presume to
tell Hewitt why I oppose you, without anyone in Mitchell telling you. Do you
remember a long talk I had with you at your own desk, in which I told you of
the trouble with the register of the office about the appointment of one
Roderic Williams as clerk in the land office' And do you remember that I
told you that I believe that the object in getting him into the land office was to
educate him to take the place of Jim Hewitt. And do you remember that you
voluntarily said that you did not think Hewitt should be interfered with? Did
you not know that Wilcox and I had disagreed about the appointment of
Williams' And did you not know that Williams could not be appointed over
my protest without congressional interference? And did you not us congress
man from the sixth district, in obedieuce to the command of a democratic boss,
your democratic boss, go up to the general land office and interfere and secure
the appointment of the said Roderic Williams? Answer this.
. I see, Judge, that this letter is already much longer than I intended, and
yet 1 am not near done telling you the reason why I do not support you this
nomination, I do know why you should take umbrage. 1 always supposed I
had a right to choose between candidates who were asking the suffrage of my
l'was fool enough over at Craw lord to turn down Judge Grime-. whom I
now consider a much better man than you and voted something like a hun
dred times for yon, for which I have been trying for the last four years to hire
some cheap guy to kick my pants. W. R. Akers.

Stand Patters In Control.
Taft's nomination was heralded as
a victory for Roosevelt, for the pro
gtesslve clement of the republican
party. In fact, it was a victory for
the stand pattet-B. The convention
that nominated Taft,, also adopted a
platform. He endorses not only tho
platform but the work of the conven
tion. While the convention showered
boqiiets on Roosevelt, it was careful
to see that none of his progressive
ideaa were embodied In the platform.
By a Tote of S66 to 114 a plank declar
ing for the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the peo
ple was defeated. A plank In favor
of the publicity of campaign contri
butions was defeated by a rote of 880
to 94. Senator LaFollette's proposition
looking toward the physical valuation
-,of railroads was defeated by a vote ot
917 to 63. As to the guarantee of bank
deposits and the income tax, the con
vention maintained a cowardly al
lence. There was not a progressive
idea in the entire platform. It is reac
tionary from beginning to end. If the
stand-patters the spokesmen and
agent of Wall Street, w'ere able to
dictate the platform, do you imaglnn
they would have permitted Taft'a nom
ination had they considered him un
