Letter Of Acceptance

Hon. +. II. Tamisiea,
Chairman Democratic Congressional
Conventions:
Dear Sir:
In announcing my acceptance of the
nomination to the office of congress-
man, rendered me unanimously by the
delegates of the Democracy of the
Ninth district in the convention recent
| ly held in Council Bluffs, desire to
express through you my grateful APP
probation of this high honor. The
distinction of being asked to represent
one OF the great parties of this nation
i'll contest for representative in the
national law-making body, is one that
carries with it a great compliment. and
it is in this spirit that take the privi-
lege of addressing you.
4 You will do me the favor, am sure,
to agree with me, that this nomination.
coming SO unexpectedly, puts me at a
considerable disadvantage in the task
of representing the party with which
have always been associated, as credit
ably in the campaign, as it deserves.
Having made no preparation. it means
a considerable business sacrifice, vet
am keenly alive to the fact that he
would be an unworthy Democratic
candidate indeed who had no business
