I am now and always have been a Republi can and believe In strict party loyalty, and that Republicans should work to carry out and make good their party platform and party pl&dgcs. If nominated and elepfced to the legislature, I shall at all times be loyal to the Republican party, and will go into and abide by the de cision of the Republican caucus on speaker and United States senator, as I believe it to be the duty of every Republican house mem ber to stand by his party and its principles, and not enter into bipartisan combinations or deals with other political parties. As this senatorial district is devoted largely to the dairying Interests, I shall do all I can to protect and help the dairy interests, and I SHALL STANf) FIRMLY AGAINST THE ENTIRE LORIMER-MOXLEY CROWD AND THEIR BUTTERINE INTERESTS, and I SHALL ALSO OPPOSE ANY PROPOSED LEGISLATION TO HAVE THE COMPUL SORY TESTING OF DAIRY COWS FOR TUBERCULOSIS. I am in favor of keeping our present pri mary law, but will vote for any amendment that will make it more perfect. I believe the proposed deepwaterway will soon become a matter of federal legislation, and I WILL NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF ANY STATE LEGISLATION BY WHICH OUR STATE IS TO BUILD A DEEPWATEKWAY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TAX PAYERS OF THIS STATE. UNLESS IT CAN BE SHOWN TO ME THAT THE BENEFITS TO THP f. A P.MVIN AND OTHER TAY PAYITRS OF THIS SENATORIAL DISTRICT WILL EQUAL OR EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ALL TAXES THEY WILL BE COMPELLED TO PAY TOWARD ITS CONSTRUCTION. I am a merchant and engaged in business at Harvard, Illinois, and I firmly Jaeiieve that business principles and business economy should be more closely followed in transact ing the business of the state legislature, and. t)jat there should be less politick played by the members of the legislature while trans acting the business of the state >tnd in mak ing the laws that are to govern us. If nominated and elected I shall serve the people of this district to the very best of my ability, and shall from- time to time consult them on all matters of legislation that will in any way effect them, and be guided by what they oelieve to be for their best Interests. 1 AM WHAT IS CALLED A "PROGRES SIVE" REPUBLICAN AND BELIEVE IN THE POLICIES OF THEODORE ROOSE- VELT, WHICH INCLUDE "A SQUARE DEAL FOR EVERYBODY."
