out of sight.
Bring in your announcements. If you
are too stingy to spend a cent to let the
people know you are a candidate, they
may feel too great a contempt for you to
give you their votes. Just think of
the men who are after the different

papers. The election is only few weeks
off. Let the people know you are a can
didate.
