- NEBRASKA JOBBERS GIVE REASONS . I
Why HENRY T. CLARKE, Jr.
of Omaha, Should be Re-elected to the
State Railway Commission
m
v
TO THE VOTERS OF NEBRASKA
The people of Nebruka are facing right now the ser
ioua danger of heavy increase in freight rates .and
passenger rates. The fight is only fairly begun. The
people must be wide awake to retain the advantage
they now have. It is to be largely a, battle in the
courts. That battle is now under way.
The railroads hire the most experienced men they
can secure. They are experts in their lines. They are
retained as long as possible by the corporations be
cause it pays to keep them. If the people are to be
successful in defending- themselves they must have
skilled and experienced representatives on their
side. .
Henry T. Clarke, Jr., fills the bill. He has seen much
active service on the railway commission. He has led
the fight for rate reductions. He has defended the
rates after reduction. He is a rate expert as well as a '
, trained lawyer. He is familiar with every phase of
railroad rate making. He has matched his skill and
experience against the railroad experts successfully.
' He is fitted to take up the burdens of the fight now
beginning and to represent the people's side. The
railroad experts know their case. Are the people
willing to put up against them an untried, inexperi
enced man, any more than the railroads will do it on
their side? Is it wisdom? Freight rates effect the
man who produces on the farm. They affect the
merchant and the jobber who handle these products. ,
They affect the consumer who finally pays. They af
fect every citizen of Nebraska.
Are reasonable rates worth fighting for? To keep

them, have trained men on the people's side. Henry
T. Clarke, Jr., has had more training and experience
than any other man the people can get The railroads
have the other men who are his equal.
Ability counts for the corporation; it will count for
the people.
Would you, in your business, fire a well tried ex-
Eert salesman and hire an inexperienced clerk to
andle your important transactions? '
"It has always been conceded that it is a mighty poor
policy to swap horses in the middle of the stream."
This saying applies with tremendous force as to the
man who shall fill the office of railway commissioner
for the next six years.
The retail dealer should remember that Mr. Clarke's
services should be continued If the over charges col
lected by the railroads of Nebrasaka are to be re
turned to the consignor. .
It was Mr. Clarke's bold and aggressive actions in
the 1915 western advance rate case, that prevented
- the railroads from increasing the freight rates on
every bushel of grain shipped out of the state of Ne
braska. Do not forget rate advance cases are already in Fed
eral court If you are to win you must select your
officials wisely.
