SAYSJ'KELVIE
Importance of Farming indus
try in Management of State
Affairs Discussed in
Western Talks.
Chappell, Neb., Sept-19. (Special
Telegram.) Despite a raw cold
wind large and enthusiastic crowds
turned out to hear addresses by S.
R. McKelvie, republican .candidate
for governor, here and in Ogallala.
Mi. McKelvie replied to the charges
published against him in a convinc
ing manner that was well received
by his audience.
Referring to interviews held with
representatives of agricultural orga
nizations Mr. McKelvie said:
"The opposition has attempted to
make much of the fact that I have
been Interviewed by the representa
tives oLJarmcrs' organizations in
the state. Personally I take it as a
compliment that the people of Ne
braska, farmers and those from
every other walk of life, feel free
to come and interview me upon sub
jects, in which they aje interested.
Anyone who is less democratic than
this simply proves that he is not
in sympathy with all of the people
and is. in no position to act with
reference to the numerous subjects
which come to him daily for admin
istration. '
-"Farming is the most important
industry in our state and men should
be elected to office who have the
best possible knowledge of and the
keenest sympathy with 1t. The
problems of the farmer are more
complex now than they have been
for years and the proper solution
of these problems is of the most im
portant moment. In a published
statement I have already said:
"First: If elected governor. I
shall call into conference the duly
authorized representatives of all the
leading farmers organizations of the
state before formulating a program
of recommendations to be made to
the legislature.
"Second: In making appoint
ments to positions that are related
td agriculture, I shall deem it my
duty to select men whose experi
ence and success in farming insure
a knowledge of the sympathy with
the things that are most important
10 uiai inuusiijr.
'"Far-seeing business men every
where recognize the fact that unless
things go well with the farmer the
entire-business fabric of the state
juust suffer. Theref'-: "eople in all
' walks, of. life are pr . Jy. interest
ed in seeing that t'-" proper solu
tion is produced with reference to
the farrner's problems."

Mr. W. C. Wilson, President,
Lincoln, Nebraska.
Kent, Iowa, April 11, 1918.
DEAR SIR: Your General Agent, Mr. L. E. Ryan, has today
handed me your check for $1,118.69, the cash value on my policy No.
5167. While this is an ordinary life policy I find that after paying
$49.65 per year on a $2500.00 policy, or a total of $993.00 in twenty
years, I have not only been protected but have made a profit. I have
also the option of taking a paid up policy for $2717.00, or a surplus of
$613.37 and continuing my policy.
I am well pleased. As I hold policies in two other companies, it
is easy for me to appreciate the advantages offered in a policy with
the Bankers Life. The fact that a short time before this policy matured
I took out $5000.00 additional insurance with your company should
show the confidence and high regard I have for the Old Line Bankers
Life of Lincoln.
Thankin jr you, I am.
