EX-SENATOR LEWIS F0RJG0N6RESS Ex-Senator Griffith W. Lewis, of BurlNew Jersey, announces his candidacy for the office of Congressman for the Second Congressional District of • Jersey, and in making such ani.ouncement submits the following statei ment of his platform: Inasmuch as the direct primary law now in foree permits every citizen to offer himself as a candidate for any office in the gift of the ipeople, I again offer myself as a Republican candidate for the nomination to the office of Congressman for the Second Congressional District of New Jersey, subject to the decision of the voters at<a primary election • to be held in September next. , I believe in a protective tariff, and that all necessaries should have placed ; thereon only sufficient tariff to protect, and that luxuries should bear the bur- - den of the tariff for revenue, and I be- , lieve that the present laws should be so , modified as to meet with the foregoing , requirements. I' know of no better language in which to express my belief up- , on the tariff than that attributed to \ Lincoln, as follows: "I do not know much abouf the tariff, I do know that if my wife buys her , cloak in America, we get the money and | , the cloak, and that American labor is paid for producing it; if she buys her cloak abroad we get the cloak, the other country gets the money, and foreign labor receives the benefit." I believe in such tariff legislation as 1 will protect all manufacturing industries, farm industries and other home industries, so that they may continue in operation, thereby giving to the opera- 1 tives, employees and workingmen steady work and just and full compensation for ■ their labor. I believe in laws which will properly 1 control and limit the operations of railroad companies and other corporate in- 1 terests and that the said _ interests 1 should be compelled to operate within the laws, but I do not believe in such a ' restraint as results in damage to the ' of said corporations. I believe in such control of trusts as < prevents them from monopolizing staples and the necessities of life, thereby in- j creasing the cost of living, and that the ; government should exercise a proper j control over them upon all lines. ] I believe in each branch of the govern- | ment performing its proper functions ; without undue interference from any i other branch of the government. ; If I should be so fortunate as to be nominated and subsequently elected to this honorable office, I shall be unpledged to any corporation, man or body of men, i and am my own free agent, and I will i give careful thought and study to all \ matters pertaining to the office, acting ( thereon according to my best judgment, 1 with a single eye to the welfare of the t country at large and especially to that of the Second Congressional District of { New Jersey. j G.
