teen L asked OF you three weeks ago
Every one of the fourteen was asked in
good faith; every one relates 10 a sub
Ject OF great interest to the people of
the Third district. If you go to con.
gress you will, in all probability, be
compelled to vote upon each OF them.
Then why not let the people know how
you will vote before they vote for YOU?
Do the necessities of the still hunt"
require concealment and evasion?
There is one otner question of vital
Importance to the cigarmakers in our
district, which wish to submit to you.

tax upon leaf tobacco used in wrapping
cigars (oumatra wrappers) so cents per
pound. Three pounds of Sumatra will
wrap LOCO cigars. We therefore save
to the clgarmakers sl.5O upon oyery Loco
cigars.
Question Is. If elected to con-
gress Will you vote to restore the Nc.
klnley tax upon SunIatra wrappers aud
thus protect The tobacco growers of Con-
nectlcu? or will you leave the tax as it
Is? or will you vote as did and will, to
reduce it still lower?

tons will receive your prompt consider
