The progressive party of the First
congressional district of Nebraska
has seen fit to place my name on the
progressive pariy ticket for the pri
mary election on July 18. 1922
without my solicitation. I therefore
felt it my duty to accept the nomi
nation. I now feel that it is my duty
to make a public statement of my
position on public questions at this
time.
1. I fully approve the platform of
the progressive party adopted by the
Grand Island convention on Decern
ber 8. 1921. Standing squarely on
this platform, I have not filed as a
candidate of any other party. I am a
progressive and not a democrat.
am a progressive and not a republi
can.
2. Four years ago in a public ad
dress I advised and urged the labor
ing men and the farmers of my home
city and county to get together po
litically and formulate a public pol
icy, and stick together and vote lor
that policy. This is what I understand
was done by the Grand Island con
vention, which organized the progres
sive party. It is my candid opinion
that in the national congress both
the democratic and republican par
ties are absolutely dominated by the
same influence, namely Wall street
and Big Eusiness. When the demo
crats had a majority in both the
house and senate under the Wilson
administration, the republicans
charged it to be a fact; now that the
republicans have a majority in both
the house and senate under the Hard
ing administration, the democrat's
are charging it to be a fact. This
charge having been made by both
of the old parties I accept it as true
When I read what both old parties

Take a Look
at this real Athletic Union Suit.
Made big and roomy for com
fort and service. Notice there
are no webbing back seams nor
tape to rip out with the first
"sweating." That's all done
away by the side button, and
giving the fullness in the cen
ler of the back where the
strain comes.
Heavy Pearl buttons that are
sewed on to stay the life of the
garment. Easy to get into, and
no need of blasting to get out of it no
shoulders to drop down, but a fit that is a fit
and stays fit.
The popularity of this Vassar Garment is best
shown by the fact that more, of them are be
ing worn in Plattsmouth than are sold from
any one store in Nebraska.
The price is
$1.00, $1.50 and $2.00
and they come from
sion of the legislature to have the at a cost of more than $500,000 per
law changed to conform to this sea- vessel. This administration under
son. . Mr. Harding as well as the former
! administration under Mr. Wilson,
" I lias sold and are selling the vessels
I of this great merchant fleet for $2,-
i 100 each, and now they want a bo
I nus in the form of a ship-subsidy. I
I am opposed to the ship-subsidy and
, the whole scheme of thievery.
7. I am opposed to the Esch-Cum-!
mins law, and would cheristran op
I portunity to vote to repeal this vi
cious law, and also compel the re
turn of the money filched from the
public treasury by the railroads.
8. I am opposed to the present
method of the management of the
Federal Reserve banks. And I am In
favor of amending this law so as to
make it respond to the needs of the
people in times of -financial distress,
and if they cannot be made to so
respond then I am in favor of their
repeal.
9. I am opposed to the schools of
crime in high places and at the seat
of government. If this be radicalism
then I am in favor of radicalism.
10. I am opposed to the general
policy of political chicanery and le
galized debauchery of the public
treasury pursued by both the demo
cratic and republican parties. If this
be radicalism then I am in favor of
radicalism.
11. I am in favor of absolute con
fiscation of all excess profits coined
out of the blood and suffering caused
and produced by the Wrorld war. I
am opposed to the production of
25,000 millionaires during the pe
riod of the nation's distress In the
World war. I would make all such
greed cough up its ill gotten gain,
and return it to those who suffered.
If this be radicalism then I am in
favor of radicalism.

Perhaps you have a mortgage against your place.
Maybe it is not due yet, but probably have an option
or right to pay the loan in full when you pay the
next interest.
If you are paying more than 5V2 now, don't wait for
the loan to become due, but see me about a new
loan before the next interest paying date.
