and if they are in sccord with the views of the voters I respectful-

Editor Examiner-Review, Navasota. Texas.
Dear Sir: I have been asked to state my position upon the more
important questions now agitating the public mind and which are
to be passed upon at the coming election.
I have no objection to thus stating my position, believing, as I
do, that every candidate for representative should make his posi-
tion so fully and clearly known that when a citizen casts his vote he
" may do so intelligently and be sure that his vote is cast in accord-
ance with the principles for which he stands.
I do not want any man to vote for me under a misapprehen-
sion of fact, and if any of those who signed petitions urging me to
offer as a candidate for representative do not agree with me upon
these questions I cheerfully release them from any obligation to
vote for me, which they may feel by having signed said petitions.
I do not want a vote cast under protest and do not believe that it
would be right and proper to hold under obligation any who have
signed the petitions not knowing or understanding my position on
these issues.
My position on the main issues before the public is as follows:
1st.—I am opposed to state wide prohibition and will cast - my
* vote accordingly unless instructed by my constituency to the con
trary. If so instructed, I will obey and follow such instruction to
the letter and vote the will of my people or resign the position. I
’ believe in majority rule and that a representative should vote the
wishes of bis constituents upon issues voted upon by them and up-
on which they have registered their will.
2nd.—I am opposed to statutory prohibition, doubting its legal-
ity, and shall vote against any measure seeking to obtain state wide
Prohibition by statutory enactment. <
3rd.—I believe in local self-government. I believe that everj/
county or sub-division of a county which desires to have prohibition
should be permitted to have it and govern themselves in such mat.
ters by majority vote. If they do'not desire ioeal prohibition,
then it should not be foisted upon them. I believe in our local op-
tiqn laws and believe dr*t under the local option system we more
fully realise the ideas of democracy and home rule. I believe that
our laws under the local option system with reference to the pro-
and should be strengthened so as to carry out the principle of such
laws and I believe in their rigid enforcement in every county and
precinct which by the vote of its people has declared against the
sale of intoxicants, and I therefore pledge myself to use every ef-
fort within my power to protect our present Incal opr inn laws and
secure their rigid enforcement and to vote for all amendments hav-
ing such objects in view. ______ _ _________ ________
pair the efficiency of our present local option laws or any attempt
to destroy or defeat their purpose and shall ardently support any
measure looking to the perfection of the local option system and to
the rigid enforcement by local government of such laws in counties
and sub-di visions which have elected to adopt the same.
4 Jthf—I am opposed to (he present system of control and man*
| S^ement of our State penitentiaries and Relieve that a commission
elected by the people to take charge of, run and manage our penal
IS and that the appoiti ve power should be taken out of ’the
the Governor and put the hands of the people.
