To the Editorsof the Ne,cs
Some weeks ago my friend Rory
O'Moret sent some coupons TO be counted
for G.. o. Swan, the leader in the insur-
ance policy contest. he incautiously let
out he was veteran ana that DIS
choice was son OF veteran and leader
A few day afterward he was mnch NOR
titled and hurt by the scoring he'received
from some one of your numerous cor
respondents. He and / cannot recall
their cognomens, but he wants me to say
that he did not serve in a three months
regiment and he loves the comrades so
well that he would not pick out one TO
the exclusion of others equally worthy
who were candidates. Therefore he Sc
lected a son of veteran who IL occasion
calls for il will be as prompt to do for the
government any duty required or him,
and he has for the last sixteen years,
through heat and cold, snow and rain,
served his country and those on his route.
His job Is not an easy one, climbing
stairs with heavy mail three or four
times day. Those whom he serves ap--
preciate him and / hope that this odd
number of coupons will keep him at the
head. Coupons for G. y. Swan, the
leader kATHELEEN BAWN."
