Rates Short Sketches of
the Men. , '
The independent party comes before
the voters of Nebraska with a state
ticket ,that U proof . against persona
criticism." Every man on the ticket
has a clean record and a character that
is above reproach. Without exception
the nominees are men whom the peo
ple can safely trust to perform tha
which they are elected to do. They
are plain men of the people.
In sympathy and interest they are
fully identified with the people. The
word duty will be the first in their
vocabulary as office-holders. And they
all possess the capability as well as the
will and the integrity to administer
the various offices of state, if the voters
see fit to place them in those offices
mi ' . i
xney are nonest, competent men.
What higher personal qualification
can any man have?
But candidates must all be consider
ed in the light of the principles they
represent, and policies they propose.
By the general principles and policy
of their party, and by their own per
sonal declarations, the independent
nominees stand pledged to the follow
ing line of action if elected:
First. The candidate for governor is
pledged to sign any and all bills that
the legislature may enact in the inter
est of the people of the state.
Second. Honest competent, men
will ha placed in charge of all the state
institutions, and they will bo managed
just as economically as is consistent
with the purpeses for which they are
maintained. -
Third. Where charges of crooked
ness in the conduct of state institutions
or of maladministration cf any state
office have been made, the ic dependent
candidates stand pledged to investigate
matters to the bottom, brinj all law
breakers to justice, and recover as far
as possible the money of which the
s:ate has been defrauded.
iourtn. ine men who will con
stitute the board of transportation will
use all the power granted them by the
law and constitution to put in force a
schedule of freight rates which shall
be no higher than the rates in force in
Iowa, and to prevent all unjust d Is
crimination on the part of corpora
tions.
Fifth. The treasurer will see that
the law requiring the interest -.on all
public funds to be turned into the
treasury is complied with, and that the
permanent school fund is invested ac
cording to law.
Sixth. The candidate for attorney
general pledges himself to do all in his
power to secure the enforcement of
every law, and the prosecution of every
offender. ' ; " - . .
Seventh. All the candidates will se9
that their offices are administered in
the interest ' of the people and not in
the interest of insurance companies,
banks, railroads, land sharks, and
office-holders as they have been ad
ministered in the past.
Eighth. The independent candidates
for the legislature propose to carry
forward the policy so well inaugurated
two years ago; to repeal bad legislation
and to enact wholesome laws on all
subjects; and above all else to enact a
law establishing freight rates no higher
than those in force in Iowa.
Ninth. The legislature will doubt
less take the necessary steps to investi
gate all charges of corruption and mal
administration of office on the part of
the present office-holders.
Tenth. The indepe ndent candidate
for congress, one and all, stand pledged
to work and vote for laws in the inter
est of the whole people, and especially
in the interest of thA wii
vUUVWl o
of the west: to vnt rm. fv,Q
ree coinage of silver; to vote for laws
;hat will give the people relief from
unjust taxation; to vote for government
ownership of railroads, and telegraphs:
tovoto for laws prohibiting trusts, and
gambling m grain, stocks, etc.; in fact
to carry cut the principles of their
platform. -
inese candidates are before the
voters of the state for their suffra
ges. They ask for the vote of everv
man, regardless of party, ; who is in
sympathy with the principles . and
purposes herein set forth.
The following is a brief sketch of
each of the state candidates: ; ;
