Minor was nominated for the office of
representative of the Ninth congressional
district for the sixth consecutive time at

There was no opposition.
Mr.. Minor was present and spoke in
part as follows:
Scores of employees of the federal govern
ment, whose homes are in this district,
urged me to go to the heads of their depart
ments and secure leaves Of absence for
them, that they might come home and work
for me- but / refused. The denomination
which | have been given today would mean
much less to me under those circumstances
than 1t does now, for / appreciate it the
most highly of all from the fact that there
was no work done by me for it. When a
man depends upon a government for his
daily support. whether that government be
federal or state. l hold that that man s
time belongs not to himself, but to the gov
ernment from which he receives his stipend.
