To the People ot Jasper, Benton & Newton Counties: l'he wise provision made in the Constitution of our State tor its amendment provides that the Legislature shall agree to such amendments, and also provides for the submission of the same to the people who by their votes shall decide for or against amendments. The question of submitting the proposed nrnendmebts to a vote of tho electors of the State is now paramount to all others. The Democratic, Republican and Greenback parties all, in their uarty platforms, favor the submission of the pending amendments to a vote of the people, and I have no hesitancy in saying that in the event I am elected to toe Senate 1 will lend mv influence and cast my vote <> secure the submission of said amendments to a vote of the people, with the fullest cohfldence that the people of Indiana not only have the right, but are competent to decide by their votes upon the several amendments. I desire to say further that I am a practical farmer and I r< cognize that this District is pre-emin-ently an agricultural one, and it" elected to the position of Senator I shall endeavor to secure such legislation as will tend to promote the best interests ©f the people. 1 shall act as the representative of all the people of the District without regard to party affiliations, and wiil not be dictated to by any faction or caucus.
