Three speaker were on the program,
Senator J. M. Tanner, South Omaha; C. 13.
Adams, Superior; and Mr. Wulpl, Chicago.
Senator Tanner said:
"You can get more for 310 her at the
den than you can anywhere else on earth
for $100. It I only a question of time. In
my mind, until a visitor to Omaha- will
have to have a guide to find th corporate
limits between the cities of. Omaha and
South Omaha." K
Mr. Wulpi, who was an Omaha business
man up until seven years ago, said, "You
do not appreciate the satisfaction I find in
being before you. I have been keeping
close wutch on Ak-Sar-Ben during the
seven years tlat 1 have not been with you
and I am proud to say you have gone ahead
and carried out the plans laid fifteen years
ago. When I left here I did not expect
to come back and find a South Omaha still
In existence. I feel that there should be
but ono city, with a population something
like 300,000."
Mr. Adams spoke of his first Impression
of Ak-ar-Ben. When he visited the city
In 1898 he and his friends, he paid, received
a royal welcome and when the time came
foe them to go they were sorry to leave
Samson and his hospitality. "This i one
of the greatest things I have ever seen,'

CHARLES 0
, WHED
ON
CANDIDATE FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR
TO THE PEOPLE OF NEBRASKA:
The primary election for the nomination of candidates
for offices by the several parties will be held Tuesday,
August 16, 1910. -.
.. I am a candidate for the office of United States sena
tor on the republican ticket.
I am in favor of all the legislation declared for by the
republican party in its platform this year.
I am in favor of the performance of every promise
made by the republican party in its national platform of
1908, and for such a revision of the tariff downward as can
be discovered without the aid of a search warrant.
I-am in favor of placing lumber and other material
used in the construction of dwellings on the free list, and
of doing it at the next session of congress.
I am in favor of placing on the free list at the next
session of congress, agricultural implements, . mechanics'
tools of all kinds, sewing machines, and everything which '.'
can be. produced here, the importation of which yields the
government practically no revenue, and which nre tnanu-
factured here and sold for export at a less price than for
home use., ;
I am for placing sugar on the free list at the earliest
day possible.
If the laws now in force are not sufficient for the effec
tive prosecution of forbidden trusts and combinations, I am
in favor of the enactment of such further laws as will drive
that .class of combinations out of existence. , .
I am in favor of such governmental control of transpor
tation companies as will prevent unjust discrimination and
extortion and the imposition of rates for service intended
to yield an income on nothing invested.
Insofar as that object my be accomplished by legisla
tion I am in favor of the enactment of such laws which will
tend t decrease the cost of living." '
I am opposed to ship subsidy. ,
I am in favor of such legislation, state and national, as
will afford to every depositor in a bank the greatest pos
sible security for his money.
I am in favor of restricting the franking privilege to
the free transportation of the Congressional Record and
parts thereof; the reports and public documents of the gov
ernment or any department thereof, and of making it a
criminal offense for the free transportation of anything else
through the mails.
I am in favor of reducing the postage on first-class
matter 50 per cent, and that at the next session of congress.
I am opposed to all unnecessary appropriations of pub
lio funds, all of which appropriations must come from tho
people either by direct or indirect taxation.
I am opposed to all legislation which tends to the crea
tion of great interests and combinations by the few, to the
ruin of individual effort and the destruction of industrious,
independent action of the many and the deprivation oi
labor of its just compensation.
I am in favor of liberal appropriation to all ex-soldiers
who have rendered faithful service to the government in
times of war.
I am in favor of such federal legislation as will tend to
prevent 'bootlegging' To that end I am in favor' of the
enactment by congress at the earliest possible day of a law
which shall prohibit the government from selling Stamps or
issuing permits for the sale of intoxicating liquors in terri
tory where such sales are prohibited by local law, and mak
ing such sales in such territory crimes against the federal
government. CIIAS. 0. WIIEDON.
