WHAT I STAND FOR
Believing that the voters of th (
sixt i Congressional District have
a . ight to know where iheir candi
date stands on the issues involvec
in the election , and believing thai
candidates before election should
state publicly and unequivocally
what they are in favor of , anc
what they will undertake to do ii
elected , I hereby pledge myself as
follows :
1. 1 will support any and all
measures which will bring about
the election of United States sena
tors by direct vote of the people.
2. I will support a law making
it compulsory upon all political
parties to publish a full and com
plete statement of campaign con
tributions before election.
3. I will favor a law providing
that in all cases of indirect con
tempt of court , the party so ac
cused shall be tried by a jury , the
same as any other person accused
of crime.
4. I will favor a reduction oi
the present tariff to an extent that
foreign competition will com
pel American manufacturers to
sell their products to American
consumers as cheaply as they sell
them to consumers in any foreign
country ; and that all agricultural
machinery , fencing , building ma
terials , and all household utensils
be placed on the free list.
5. I will favor an amendment
to the so called railroad rate bill ,
now in force , which will provide
that pending an appeal to the fed
eral courts , the order of the inter
state commerce commission ,
whether making a new rate , or
which is made for th ( purpose of
preventing an existing discrimina
tion , shall be and remain in force
pending the appeal in the federal
courts.
G. I shall favor an amendment
to the federal constitution provid
ing for an inheritance and income
tax.
7. I shall favor an amendment
to the present homestead law ! now
in force and applicable.to this dis
trict , which will give the home
steader the same rights of com
mutation , and making final proof ,
as are enjoyed in other localitities
by homesteaders under the gener
al homestead laws of the country.
8. I shall favor a law under
which deposits in all national banks
will be guaranteed , as proposed in
the Denver platform.
9 I shall devote all of my time ,
energy , and what ability I possess ,
to attending to the business of the
people of this district , and to guard
ing their rights individually and
collectively.
10 I shall favor an amendment
to the rules of the.house of repre
sentatives , which will deprive
peaker Cannon , or any other
speaker of the house , of the power
to throttle legislation which is de
manded by the people.
If the above and foregoing propo
sitions meet with your approval , I
respectfully and earnestly solicit
vour support at the coming gen
eral election.
W. H. WESTOVER.

We had enthusiastic meetings
everywhere , " said one of the. cor
respondents. "There is no Bryan
press in seeing that the Bryan tide
is rising all over the country and
especially in the east and middle1
west. Three weeks ago New Jer
sey was in the doubtful column ;
today it is for Bryan , Any talk
of Tammany being disloyal to the
head of the ticket this year is
heerest nonsense. New York
City that is Greater New York
will give Bryan a majority in ex
cess of 125QUO. "
This c > rrespondent is connected
with a New York newspaper and
is thoroughly acquainted with the
situation. /
Mr. Bryan himself is sanguine
of success. When asked what he
thought of the prospects he replied :
kklt is a subject that a candidate
cannot ver.v we.lldicuss for he can
get information through reports
that come to him from time to time.
Heports which I have received are
not only encouraging but their
tone grows more and n ore encour
aging. In every state in the un
ion , the trend is against the repub
lican party. In some places , it is
more pronounced than in others ,
but it is sufficient to lead us to be
lieve that our party will not only
vave a considerable popular ma-
3ority but a majority in the elcctor-

Representative liainy of Illinois
was a visitor atFairveiw la.-t week
lie said :
"I have personally visited more
than 700 precints in Illinois this
fall , bent on a non-partisan mission ,
the promotion of inland waterways.
While out I took pains to get a line
on the local question. The result
of my observation is conviction
that Bryan will carry Illinois by
from 25.000 to 35 000 , and that
Stevenson will 75,000. Illinois is
no longer in the doubtful column. "
On December 6 , 1S95. the Gree-
le.y County Bank at Scotia , Nebr. ,
failed , owing depositors about § 9.-
OQP. George W. Scott was cashier
and manager of this bank. The
receiver paid the depo-itor 35 per
cent of their deposits , but there is
still Go per cent unpaid.
The republican platform con
vention at Lincoln last month ap
pointed a committee on resolutions.
This committee refused to report
a plank favoring the guarantee of
deposits. A member of the com
mittee presented a minority report
favoring "some kind of a guaran
tee , " but the convention voted it
down with a whoop.
Among the delegates present
and vociferously voting "no" on
the bank guarantee proposition
was George W. Scott.
Yes the same George W. Scott
who was cashier of the Greeley
County Bank at Scotia the bank
that failed thirteen years ago and
still owes depositors 65 per cent of
their deposits.
Governor Cummins of Iowa per
formed the oratorical stunt in
Lincoln for the Taft meeting. The
Governor Cummins who is sup
porting Sherman , the standpatter ,
and by inference supporting Can
non , the chief of standpatter is the
same Governor Cummins who
poses as a progressive in Iowa.

Harriman contributes § 30.
to the republican campaign fund
and the suits against him are drop
ped "till after election. "How do
good , honest Christian people like
this ? No wonder thousands of
liberal minded republicans are de
serting Taft and supporting Bryan.
The Commercial National Bank
and the Mount Washington Sav
ings and Trust Bank of Pittsburg ,
Pa. . Irive gone republican and
closed their doors , thus defrauding
hundreds of depositors of their
money. Under Bryan's guaran
tee idea every depositor would
have been paid in full. Taft is
against this law to protect deposi
tors. Isn't it time the' voters are
getting their eyes open ?
