In August 1920 Job Durfee. ESQ. addressed iec
Ter to the Editors Of the Providence Patriot, stating
that he Gid not solicit the aid Of Federaists, and
should not consider himself under any obligations To
them for any support they might give him. This
letter was written few days Before town.meeting.
but was not pubashes until his election was secured.
As the letter is in existence. Mr. Durfee and his
father are aboring to do away the force Of it, and
citing the aid Of those men whose support he once
declared would confer upon him no obligation
Federalists Of Rhode.lsland, vote for Job Durfee
and you will hereafter receive another grateful re-
turn. .--..-..
