M. Adams' Statement Crawford , Xeb , Oct. 15 , 'OS. To all voters of the Fourteenth Senatorial district of Nebraska : Having been nominated by the Democratic and People's Indepen dent Parties for the honorable po sition of State Senator for the Fourteenth district of Nebraska , and bellieving that the voters ef this district should know before election where their candidate stands upon the most important isf-ues involved in this campaign , I submit the following for your consideration : 1. I am in favor of a law that will guarantee bank deposits , for the absolute security of the people's money , to prvent panics and promote prosperity , and available to national as well as state banks of this state wishing to take advan tage of the same. 2. lam in favor of the election of precinct or township assessors by the direct vote of the people in the precincts or townships in which they live. 3. I am against what I term the unjust action of the state board in arbitrarily raising the valuation as returned by the local and county ssesso s. tt. I believe in a state experi mental farm and that it should be located in the northwestern part of the state , as mentioned in the Democratic platform. 5. T favor a wide open primary election , where every voter will have an opportunity of voting a secret ballot and for wh m he chooses. 6. From a national standpoint , I am in favor of every plank in the Democratic platform that was adopted by the Democrat party at its last national convention held in Denver , Colorado , in July , 190S. Having served in the last legis lature as the representative from the Fiftv-third district , which is accredited with being the most pro gressive legislature that has as sembled in Nebraska for the last fourteen years , I believe that I am in a better position to know what the people of my part of the state want and expect from their mem ber if elected to the office. Respectfully , 2 GEO. M. ADAMS. WHAT I STAND FOR. Believing that the voters of the sixth Congressional District have a right to know where their candi date stands on the issues involved in the election , and believing that andidates before election should state publicly and unequivocally what they are in favor of , and what they will undertake to do if elected , I hereby pledge myself as Follows : 1. I will support any and all measures which will bring about the election of United States sena tors by dire.ct 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- used shall be tried by a jury , the same as any other person accused of crime. 4. I will favor a reduction of ihe 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- : erials , and all .household utensils je placed on th'e 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 the purpose of preventing an existing discrimina tion , shall be and remain in force pendiag the appeal in the federal courts. 6. I shall favor an amendment to the federal constitution provid ing for an inheritance and income tax. 7. T 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 linal proof , as are enjoyed in other localities by homesteaders under the gener- Now is the time to get your winter quilts , See our elegant _ _ display of them in our window Quilts at $1.75 , $2,00 , $2,50 , $3,00 , $3,25 , $3,50 and $ 8 Don't forget to take a look at our 98c leader in quilts , "Watch our window , al homestead laws of the country. S. T shall favor a law under which deposits in all national banks will be guaranteed , as proposed in the -Denver platform. 0. 1 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 speaker Cannon , or any other speaker of the house , of the power to throttle legislation which is de manded by the..peplg. . If the a.bove and foregoing propo sitions meet with your approval , I respectfully and earnestly solicit your support at the coming gen eral elpntion. " W. PI. WESTOVER. Contest Notice. U. S.
