ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION

p Raniel (’. Bracknoy Gives His Reasons for Taking a Place on the Independence Party Ticket.

DID NOT CANVASS FOR SIGNERS

The people being desirous to know how I will tteat the nomination for Congress which has come to me without any solicitation whatever upon my part, I will say that I have given the subject careful consideration and having remained out of politics for fourteen years voting from an independent standpoint, and to represent the people in the United States Congress is an honor no loyal citizen should turn his back upon. I therefore, shall have to let the people say no. The habit of machine voting by the people for the past fifty years has been the outgrowth of political bossism and corrupt office holders. Through corrupt officials the money power of this country, has fastened its yoke of oppression upon the people. This year is noted for more machine-made candidates than ever before in. the history of the country. And the people are awakening to the fact that they should fasten their seal of condemnation upon graft and greed, are more determined to stamp out bossism than ever before. The paramount issue to be considered in this state is the temperance question. We now have a local option law that should be maintained for the general good and welfare of the people, and to assist in the enforcement of such a law by the state, there should be some law’s regulating the interstate commerce as well as the federal license law, which is a menace to the enforcement of prohibition. If I shall bo elected to represent the people of the Fifth District in Congress, I will use my best efforts to secure the passage of a law to prevent the issuing of government license to sell intoxicating liquors within a prohibition state. And every proposition for me to consider shall be balanced in the scales of equal justice to all the people. D. C. BRACKNEY.
