ROSS L. HAMMOND RESIGNS
Collector of Internal Revenue to En
ter Gubernatorial Race.
GIVES OUTLINE OF HIS PLATFORM
Snr lie l n Supporter of Initiative
and Referendum nnd for nn Kx
tenslon of thr Soft force
to Women.
Ross It Hammond, editor of the Fre
mont Tribune and United States collector
of Internal revenue for the district of i
Nebraska, has forwarded to Washing-
ton his resignation from the govern
ment position and filed his papers for
the gubernatorial race, subject to the
republican primaries.
Mr. Hammond, In his announcement,
reviews tho fact that he was one of tho
first in the state to favor the popular
.lullnn .f T'l...l U..... t
that he helped to prepare the way for It,
by convention nominations, long before
such elections becamo legally possible.
He also recalls that as one of the first
advocates of tho primary system, he
urged its adoption to secure the freest
and fullest expression of the popular
will; that he advocated the anti-pass
law and supported tho 2-cent fare law,
railroad terminal taxation, an elec
tive rallrond commission: that he was a
supporter of tho Initiative and referen
dum. In thfa announcement he declares that
he stands for extension of suffrage to
women, as "their right." He declares the
present need of the state Is a business
administration, and a period of construc
tive work, to build up the Industries of
the state, rather than one to Impose
reforms upon the people.
No Prouriiin of Iteform.
In his announcement Mr. Hammond
says:
I have ho program of reform 1 would
Impose upon tho people. Though I think
there is always room for improvement, I
would not upset all established methods
of legislative procedure. 1 would bo par
ticularly pleased with tho official oppor
tunity to contrlbuto to the solution of the
problem Involving the efficiency of tho
rural school. I am convinced that In Its
proper development will bo found a rem
edy for no mo unsatisfactory rural condi
tions. Through It, I believe, as un educa
tional and social factor, we aro to be
saved from a condition of landlordism
and tenancy.
In filing 1 deem It permissible to atato
that I havo been for nearly thirty-flvo
years a citizen of Nebraska and havo
during all this time been In afctlve or
directing control of the newspaper 1 own
In part. It has always been a republican
paper. Through It. nnd by personal ef
forts, I have contributed what I could to
the republican causo. It has shown, as I
believe, a straight enough course to give
assurance of Its republicanism, and has
been progressive enough to Justify my
appeal for tho support of whatever party
factions may exist.
The party platform convention will bo
held In July. Tho wisdom of tho multi
tude of counsel Is greater than the wis
dom of a single individual. I am confi
dent a republican convention would not
take any position I could not consistently
endorse.
The primary contest ought to be so
conducted that there will be no 111 results.
The fighting Bhould bo reserved for tho
opposition after the primaries. I urn de
posed to merely sumblt my candidacy to
republicans in state-wide caucus and let
them be Judgo without solicitation of my
fitness for the governorship. I believe
the corrupt practices act should be con
formed to. If I cannot be nominated and
elected without violating that law, as the
public believes It too often done, then t
must and should remain In private sta
tion. Ran for Congress Defore.
LINCOLN. May 23.-(Spoclal.)-Roas L.
Hammond of Fremont, who filed for the
republican nomination for governor to
day, ran for congress in the Third dis
trict and passed under the wire a neck
In the rear of Samuel Maxwell, a Fre
mont neighbor, who was extremely popu
lar at that time. He later ran for tho
legislature with better success, which
prompted him to try office seeking again
and he landed unanimously as president
of the Nebraska Editorial association,
where he is especially strong and where
It Is expected that he will find rnanv
warm supporters In his campaign for
governor.

and appeared to bo greatly aggrieved
when he declined to arrest hor. Tho
public outside was distinctly hostile to
tho women, but a large force of poltco
men protected them.
Soon after tho onslaught by the police,
the militants' reply came in the shapo
nt' Bcveral serious outrages, Including the

was In connection with county officials.
Ho Is charged In a warrant Issued Fxl
day with having auempiea w
County Commissioner John C, Lynch by
offering to "split" a S.00 commission
which he would secure, he said, from tho

According to a report from Kansas

After Governor Dunne of lUlnoIa had,

Hansen was released under bond' pendte

When the prisoner failed to appear In
court at the appointed hour yesterday his
bond was forfeited by Judge Stewart. It
is said that under the Illinois statute
suit to collect the amount will b begun

It la supposed by Omaaha officials ttuft
Hansen's gang was afraid to rely on the
legal technicality, based on the argument
that the warrant for him was faulty,
which It had been Indicated would be ad
vanced to keep Hansen from Omaha.
According to word received from Chl
