Political . Announcement
For Congress
To the Democratic Voters
of the 11th District
Having qualified with the Elec
tion Board, I offer myself as a
candidate for the nomination for
Congress from this District, sub
ject to the action of the Democrat
ic primary June 4th. I have been
a life-Ions Democrat, never held or
wanted any pubRc office, and seek
this one for no personal reason.
I have .been in business in this
District for forty years, during
- which time I have seen the coun
try change from a land of promise
;and opportunity to a land, of
bankruptcy and drab despair. The
people are just as energetic as
. . . a ij. i
iney ever were. vur. ncius auu
factories produce more abundantly
than ever before, yet notwithstand
ing una, Wcflll (Mill I'ilVcLMUlI 1IC
increasing in the country all the
time. -.
There must be some basic reason
for this drastic change and we
have not far to go to find it. Our
ills are economic and not political.
Politicians will never solve the
problem. The principal reason for
the condition we find ourselves in
is found in one word, "monopoly."
In 1866 the first mercantile cor
poration was chartered In this "coun
try. Since then they have cover
ed the land like a pall of dark
ness from one end to the other and
in the last five years they have
forced such a liquidation of . all
since the flood. There can be
prosperity in this -.cor.',ry ui.til
-f?S8vv"y oi this blighting cause
is removed. Nothing done r con
templated so "far in Washington
touches the seat of the trouble,
but on the contrary adds to its
intensity as witness the course of
the stock market.
No nation can tax itself into
prosperity. On the contrary, it is
the sure road to perdition. If 1
am elected, I will introduce a bill
drawn by a Constitutional lawyer
prohibiting any individual, firm or
corporation engaged in the distribu
tion of commodities from havmg a
place of business in more than
one locality anywhere ;n the Unit
ed States. Let thcrr grow as large
as they can in their home town.
but keep the business of other
places sacred to the use, oh its
own inhabitants and for its, own
nnhtiilftinc Thio
fundamentally sound to need any
explanation. The iime ha3 come
when we must have a redistribu
tion in this country not of wealth,
but of opportunity. Pass such a
law and the billion dollars which
we are accused of hoarding as if
it were a crime would spring to
lite in local activity, taking nvl
lions of men out of the bread
. lines and putting them back to
work. We should have a strict
limitation upon the sizi of person
al -fortunes as well as other ag
gregations of capital.
We should have a national cor
poration law taking that function
away from the States which have
abused it and nothing should have
the privilege of incorporation ex
cept those agencies which perform
some useful service ' to the com
munity at large. No private or
personal enterprise should . have
the privilege as each generation
should liquidate itself as fir as
possible and- leave the stage clear
for the next succeeding one, which
will have the same necessity for
supporting existence.
Governmental debts should be
scaled down commensurate with
the decline in all other values as
a bond is no more sacred than the
home of the humblest citizen. My
candidacy should interest every
voter who is having difficulty in
making a living because the meas
ures which I stand for, if enacted
into law, would make living 'easv
for a hundred million American
citizens. When you go to the
primary, "remember the name."

a bad case of fishing fever. lie
lost his speed of course he never
had much and he ic .t his crop
after Mrs. Blaine had- planted it
because he wouldn't piow and hoe
it.
"Day after day he woill dig a
supply, of worms and go creeping
down to the river bank. Hers he
would stay all day in peaceful
slumber, with an occasional kick to
drive away the insects that would
try to distrub his sleep. At the
approach of darkness, after the
milking and wood chores ,iad bten
done, he would go home at a faster
gait than he had used in the morn
ing for the .man is not . a very
brave man out by himself after
dark. .
"This went on nearly all MJinmu,
and not a fish did Charlie atch;
so one day I decided to help the
brute, by asking him to help put
in a fish trap on shares. He mth
er liked the idea and promised to
help. After I had built the wood
en part of the trap and done all
the other work, .1 had to get Ch;-r
lie to help anchor the trap out in
the river.
''The. water was rather deep and
so swift a man could hardly resist
the current. I didn't know that
Charlie couldn't swim; of coune,
I should have known that he
wouldn't have tried. He takes hold
of one end of the trap, with me
carrying the other end and most of
the weight. When we hit the
main channel of the river the
trouble began. Charlie got fright
ened and we both came near being
dead men floating towards the
Gulf of Mexico. Charlie turned
loose of his end of the trap and
then he got in a hurry one time in
life and made for me. There I
was in mid-stream trying. to take
care of my fish trap and a dead
weight. Charlie came in a snap
of hugging me to death; and his
begging was heart-breaking he
thought that he was drowning,
when in fact the water was only
a short ways above his knees.
