At the Solicitation of my Friends and
Many Voters
I annoume myself as a candidate
for the House of Representatives, sub
ject to the Democratic primaries and
nominating convention. In doing sol
I wish to state a few of the things in
the interest of the people I am in fa
vor of:
j I am in favor of a reasonable and
just reduction of railroad fares; of giv
ing ample power to the corporation
commission to enforce its orders upon
the railroads (which it formerly held,
out was taken away irom (nem), l am
in favor of an act to compel the rail
roads to give all shippers rqual freight
rates, and forbid and destroy the ad
vantage they now give to favored ship
pers in the way f underbilling and
such like devices. 1 am opposed to
the dictation t the voters of this
county by paid servants of the South
ern railroad who shall be the nomi
nees of the party, especially who shall
represent the county in the legislature.
I am in favor of making the Watts
law apply to all alike within the bor
ders of the state, and net givs as their
due and right, as one member of the
House of Representatives said, special
privileges to the rich and restraining
laws for the poor. I am in favor of a
"square deal" for a'l, and fi r equal op
portunities for all.
I am, to the ''mannor born," a na
tive of good old Cabarrus. I will sub
mit to no political trickery.
I. N. Ingram.
