Following is the text of Mayor
Brown's address delivered lefore
a meeting of the congressional com
mittee at Nebraska City yesterday:
"As you gentlemen know, I did
not seek this nomination. Having
received it, I shall do my Lest to
win. I have been greatly encour
aged by the assurances of support
that have come to me. I have re
ceived many letters commending
our clear declaration of principles.
One republican newspaper in Lin
coln has franklv admitted that we
have the better platform. To that
platform I am committed as strongly
as any man who values his word
can be committed. After all, the
people must take some chances in
the selection of a public official.
Ante-election pledges are frequently
broken and frequently made to le
broken. If any one who knows
me doubts my determination to
fullfill my obligations to the letter
then I prefer he cast his vote for
my opponent. I can afford to be
defeated in this contest.
I could
not afford to violate my word,
which I hope I may say without
offense has always passed as good
among those who know me.
"The platform adopted by the
convention which nominated me
states the issues briefly and force
fully. As a business man I have
been in a position to appreciate the
enormity of the evils arraigned in
that a platform. I know the great
wrongs that are built upon the pass
system . Men who spend thousands
of dollars in the shipment of freight
are required to pay their fare,
while men who never spend a penny
ride free on account of their politi
cal influence. The free pass system
is an injustice to those who are re
quired to pay their fare. Destroy
that system and the railroads can
well afford to submit to lower freight
and passenger rates. It is an in
justice tc the shipper to require
fare of him while the politician
pays not a cent for his transpor
tation. PASSKS AND POLITICAL POWER.
"But the injustice to individuals
who pay not only for themselves
but also for the deadhead, is small
compared to the greater evil of the
free passes as the basis for the cor
porations' political power. It is
not enough that the public official
be prohibited from accepting a
pass. The corporations should be
prohibited from giving a pass to
any individuals save bona fide em
ployes. Where one public official
is influenced by a free pass, hun
dreds of private citizens with politi
cal influence are persuded, with a
pasteboard courtesy, either to di
rectly aid the corporation in win
ning political power or to give such
aid indirectly by relaxing the ef
forts they should make in lxrhalf
of popular government.
"The corporation is entitled to
protection by the law and deserves
consideration at the hands of the
public officials equally and exactly
as other interests are. Because the
common carrier depends upon the
law for its privileges, as it does for
its life, the rules to which it must
conform must be laid down bv those
who act in the public intctcst ;inl
with due regard for tin- rights of
the corporation rather than by
those who out- their Ui tioii t
corporation agencies, and who are.
therefore, the representatives of
special interests rather than tin
servants of the people. The olo!i
tion of the free pass systi in will do
much to establish reform.
"It is significant that mv oppo
nent is silent on the question
raised by Secretary Taft's order to
buy Panama canal supplies in other
markets if such a course be neces
sary to avoid extortionate prices by
the American manufacturers. This
is a very important question; for
the inemliers of congress chosen
July IK will le called upon to take
his stand for or against this order.
It was recently announced that tin
advocates of the high tariff would
defv President Roosevelt in this
matter, and that congress would
prevent him from earring out his
plans to avoid the extortions by
the trusts. If elected, I will vote
and labor for the support of the
president in this matter. I will
vote and laljor for the destruction
of what our Iowa friends call "the
shelter the trusts find in the tariff."
NO TAKIIT SHKI.TKK TO TKl'STS.
"I will vote and labor to the end
that the tariff wall around this
country shall not lx- so high as to
permit men to extort unfair prices
from the government; I shall insist
also that the rule which Mr. Roose
velt has, in the Taft order, laid
down for the lencf)t of the govern
ment, shall le followed for the ben
efit of the individual consumer. I
shall favor a law which will give
the president authority to remove
the tariff from any article which,
after proper inquiry, shall Ik.- found
to le the subject of trust agreement
or the product of a combination
coming under the definition of
conspiracy in restraint of trade."
"As a business man and an ex
tensive shipper I know the import
ance of a law prohibiting rebates
and giving to the interstate com
merce commission the power to fix
rates. During my business career
in Nebraska I have paid in freight
more than a half million dollars
and have not received one dollar in
rebates. I shall vote and labor for
a bill to abolish rebates and to give
to the interstate commerce commis
sion the power to fix rebates. That
bill should provide that when the
rate is fixed it shall go into effect
immediately, and so remain unless
it is destroyed by the supreme
court. I shall strive for action on
this subject at the coming regular
session or at the special session
should a special session be called.
At all events, I shall protest against
delay and shall do my part to ob
tain relief for the public at an early
day.
AN APPKAL TO Till-: PKOPI.K.
"I realize that in this contest my
opponent will have the strong sup
port of every corporation against
whose special privileges the plat
form upon which I was nominated
strikes. I know it will be no easy
task to overcome these- powerful in
fluences, but I have determined to
appeal to the people of this district
conscious of the rectitude of my in
tentions and confident of the neces
sity for relief.
"While my whole life has been
devoted to business affairs and I
am not accustomed to making
speeches, I intend to see as many
people as possible between now and
election day. I hope to make it
known to every voter in the dis
trict exactly where I stand on the
great questions with whose import
ance I am deeply impressc . If
they think my opponent can serve
them better than I can, I shall ac
cept the verdict without a murmur.
If they choose me as their repre
sentative, I promise them that I
will never knowingly do anything
to cause them to regret the vote
thev cast in mv lx-half."
Nebraska Citv is arranging to
accommodate a very large crowd of
people on the Fourth, and if we
don't miss our guess she will have
the largest gathering in the history
of the old berg. They extend a
most cordial invitation to Platts
mouth people.
