"My Dear SRI congratulate you
and the people of the whole country
on your election to the Presidency Of the
United States. You owe your election.
in my judgment, TO the fact that the
people believed you to be an honest man.
and not to any particular efforts made
by any faction of either the Democratic
or Republican parties.
Independent men who care more for
good government than for parties or in
dividnlals, have made you their choice
because they were convinced that your
administration would not be for the
benefit of any political organization or
favored persons, but for the interest Of
the whole people This is Just the result
which is most desired.
ave have reached time when party
amounts to nothing. The country i
above all, and wants an honest govern
ment by honest men. The belief that
we viii find it in you has led to your
election. Yours, very truly,

Third, that the Board Of Supervisors, Al
