primary election to be hold Tuesday ,
September 1 , 1908. Successful In n re

cultural resources of the Sixth District

scientific methods as Inculcated by the
remaining session ot my present term ,
which" commences the flntt Monday In
December next , and If re-elected , to
continue vigilant In their behalf.
For yearn I have advocated the elec
tion of United States Senators by di
rect vote ot the people.
Some proper mode for aately secur

respect , for which 1 feel entitled to a
portion of the credit.
In the revision of the tariff , I shall
strlvo for proviolons calculated to pro
mote the best prices for farm products
including lire stock. Secretary of Stuto
Root will certify to my efforts with the
State Department commencing more

extension of the sale of American
meats In foreign countries , especially
in Germany.
The provisions of u bill I Introduced

ber and barbed wire upon the free list ,
if not previously enacted into law , I
shall urge for adoption with the gen'
oral revision to bo made at the com
mencement of the next Congress. In
revising the tariff , care must be taken
that the higher standard of wages and
living of labor in this than in foreign
countries bo luUy preserved.
No interest appeals to me more
strongly that that of Nebraska home-
stoadore and it is my purpose to do the
most practicable for them during the

Istratlon , shall also receive my loyal

With the training I have already en.
Joyed by actual experience , I fool con

er advantage In bolmlf of the Interests

RECORD OF CONGRESSMAN KIN
KAID.
( From the Valentine Republican. )
It is with pleasure wo brlelly review
the record of Congressman Klnkald as
with the approval of thousands of hli
appreciative constituent ! * , ho Is a can
dldate for a renomtnatlon. Mont ol
the people of the Sixth District will TO'
member that Congressman Klnkufd
made his political start ttu a meml > t > i
ot the Nebraska Stnto Senate and that
he became one of tlio Joremost and
moHt Influential , though one of the
youngest , members of that body. Sev
eral years after his legislative service
Mr. Klnkald became District Judge
and it has been ascertained by a dl
tlngulshed jurist thai his decisions car
rled to the nupiomo Court upon ap
peal , contained as few orrois as thns
of any judge of the state In proportlor ,
to the time of service-of each.
It should not bo formation It was
Candidate Kinknld who reclaimed thf
Sixth District from fuslonlsm after It
had been continuously represented by
Fuslonlsts Kom. Greene and Neville
for twelve years. The nominees nl
the republican party , excellent men
too , having experienced successive de
feats until the election of Mr. Kin-
kald. likewise having In his first two
efforts failed of election to Congress
Homestcading.
The Congressman's greatest legls
lative achievement IB his One Sectioc
Horaestp'ad art. generally known n ; ,
the "Klnkald Act. " Well may he und
his constituents bo proud ol Ihlt
homestead law because it Is generallj
estimated to bo the most popular ol
anjr act ever passed by Congress nf-
fectlmt Nebroik * Interests. That It
was a graft victory to secure KO KI-MH
a change ip the hcmestmd law IB em
phasized by the fact that tno bill mot
with the determined and powerful op
position of the ihen Secretary of the
Interior , Mr. Hitchcock. The bill , ac
cording t6 custom , having boon re
ferred to the Secretary for remarks ,
ho brlelly expressed In a written re
port his unqualified opposition to Its
passage. The bollof of our Congress
man that this high olllclal , represent
ing an executive branch of the gov
ernment , was unjustly encroaching
upon the , legislative branch , deter
mined him more than over to succeed ,
and within two weeks utter the nil.
verse report , with the favor of Presi
dent RooRin-oll , the bill became n law.
tfo Congressman could fuel more so
Icltouu than Mr. Klnkald for the In-
.oresls of the hqinesteaders of his
slate , n natural consequence of his
jelng the father of the oiio-sootlon
net. All -the numerous letters , ques
tions , and requests of entrymen re
ceive his piompt , courteous , capable
und painstaking attention. Uesldea
securing to deserving old homestead-
era yet holding their original home
steads In western Nebraska , the right
to add three quarters to their original
entry , the act has Invited thousands of
other progressive homesteaders and
home bulldeiu from other states who
have come here and availed themselves -
solves of the privileges of the act and
who will help to accelerate the devel
opment1 of the state. Under the old
one-quarter section regime ninny of
our towns In the public laud localities
had for nevera ! .sears been growing
smaller , but the operation of this hen
otlcont law has tuvcrscd this order ol
thlngn and since the day It took effect
business in nil such towns has en
joyed it now and continuous Impetus ,
every branch feeling the beneficial ef
fects of Increased trade , and the towns
have been grow.ng , as the population
in the country has been growing , and
country and towns are on the best
bUHlncsu basis over enjoyed. A No-
brnskan , who on account of his busi
ness position ought to know , recently
Htataii tlrnf Nebraska , if not now first
as a dnlny state in the Union , was n
close second , and that the Kinkald
Act had been the greatest factor In
bringing this about , lie predicted
that the operation of this law to
gether with the progressive funning
already inaugurated- which our Con
gressman has done so much to stim
ulate , ore long would promote an In
crease of the population of the Sixth
District fourfold. Right hero It Is per
tinent to note tnat Mr. Klnkald dur
ing his service nns been Indefatigable
In hlH efforts to promote the Improve
ment of agriculture In western Ne-
biaska upon scientific methods by ex
periments by progressive farmers
with grain , grass and forage plant
seeds , brought from other regions ,
found to bo better adapted to thlH cli
mate than Hitch as have been In use.
Legislation.
During his service , Mr. Klnkald has
helped to pass the most Important
laws of any in tlio history of the
United States. The acln thus passed
are more directly In the Intelests of
the people than all the laws pre
viously puHsed. Conspicuous among
such acts are the railway rate bill ,
pure food and meat Inspection bills ,
employers' liability bill , age pension
bill , widows pension bill , bill limiting
the hours ot labor of government em
ployes , bill limiting the hours of labor
of railway trainmen , bill limiting the
hours of labor of telegraph operators ,
bill to promote the safety of em
ployees running trains , popularly
known as the "Ash Pan Act" and u
bill providing for the payment , with
out suit , or the employment of conn-
Hoi , of damages for personal Injurlew
sustained by employees of the govern
ment engaged In certain dangerous
occupations. These and many other
blllH In the Interest of the people re
celved his heartv suonort.
Pensions.
Due to his loyalty to their Interests
In promoting the granting of their
claims for the allowance und Increase
of their pensions and the pasHlng nf
private bills In Congress for their re
lief , soldiers of the Civil and Spanish-
American Wars have come to regard
their Congressman as their true
friend. He has been exceptlonallj
successful In promoting relief In the
thousands of cases In behalf of which
ho has labored.
Malls.
Greater Improvement has bcoi
made In the mail service of the Slxtl
District during the incumbency of Mr
Klnkald than in the twenty-five years
preceding his election. Through his
efforts numerous new star mall routes
have been established and old ones
have boon extended ; railway mail ser
vice on both passenger and freight
trains has been inaugurated and ox-
timdod : and free rural delvery ! routoi
have be'on promoted' whore the popu
lation would justify It.
Reared on a Farm ,
Mr. Klnkald was born and raised on
a farm , and that he luu ; been "up
against the real thingin farming ( a
evidenced by the fact that In the har
vest flold Ito raked and bound grain
uid kept up with the crndlor when but
10 years of ago. A lawyer by pro
fession , ho has yet boon directly Inter
ested In farming during the most of
iln bualni'HH career. Ho was a pioneer
neer lit the raising of pure breed An
gora goats In NebniHha and has Introduced -
duced other pure breed llvo stock.
Nebraska , wo believe , has com
menced to oinulato the example of old
settled states by continuing UK llopre-
snntatlvos rondorlng good service for
more than two or three two-yoar
Lorms. Inllmmtial Congressmen are
those of the longer , or longest , service
and the longer the service the morn
successful nro they In behalf of their
llHlrlets. If abUlty ' , aptitude , expe
rience , and fidellt'y to the Interests of
ilfl constituents nro to govern , Mr.
Clnluitd should be ronomlnuted.
