We are not asking the nomination for
the purpose of assisting our local
ticket, but from past experience we
believe we are safe in affirming that if
we are accorded this nomination. we
will be able to carry both the state and
county ticket through with majority
of not less than 2,000
Gentlemen of the Convention, Nc
Kean presents to you man whom we
believe to be the strongest candidate
that has been or can be presented from
any part of this Congressional district.
Born and reared on the farm, he has
carved out for himself through his in
dividual efforts q business career that
has been not only successful, but hon
orable. Starting with his foot on the
lowest round of the ladder, he has
mounted steadily until he has acquired
a competency and made for himself a
business reputation, stamped with the
trade mark of industry, honesty and
integrity. In social life he commands
and receives unqualified respect; his
home life is of that high order of af-
fection and kindlines5 that marks the
best citizens. Public spirited, he has
served in the legislature of his home
city, when that city needed a guiding
hand and cool brain. Philanthropic,
he has visited the sick, and given liber-
ally to the needy in distress. No
charitable or benevolent organization
ever appealed to him without receiving
quick and unselfish response.
Retiring, yet firm in his convictions;
modest, yet aggressive in the cause of
right, he is looked upon by the Repub-
licans of Mexican county as positively
safe man to lead US to victory and to
place the Twenty first Congressional
district forever in the Republican col
umn.
We want to assure you gentlemen of
this convention that ifMcKean County
Is, at this time, honored with this nomi-
nation, that your candidate will take
personal interest in each and every
Republican candidate in each and every
county in this Congressional district;
that he will bring into the camprign,
not only in Mexican, but Cameron,
Centre and Clearfield a thoroughness
of honorable campaign work that the
voters, regardless of party, can applaud
and will respond to; that it will be his
pleasure and desire to aid in every
honorable way possible in the election
! of every candidate associating with
him upon the ticket, and the entire dis
trict will receive the full benefit of an
aggressive campaign.
| These are some of the reasons why |
take pleasure in presenting on behalf
of the county of Mexican the name of a
man whom l believe will harmonic
the Republican party throughout the
entire district; the name of man
against whom | know no person can
raise the finger of scorn; the name of
a man against whom no word can be
said socially or politically; the name of
a man whom you can go home to your
friends and neighbors and truthfully
say is an honest man, an able man, a
conscientious mana citizen of the
highest type. Without disparagement
to the other honorable gentlemen
I whose names have been presented be-
fore this conference, say confidently
that the Twenty first Congressional
district will be represented by a man
of business acamen and sagacity-by
man who will serve the entire dis
trict faithfully, effectively and salts
iactorily if you gentlemen will place
in nomination as the unanimous choice
of this convention Solomon r. Dre5-
