for delegate he has remarkable
influence which will increase If he is
reelected by large majority. He
will be able to do you more good
than ever heretofore on account of
more experience and the knowledge
attained by his present service.
Several members Of congress to
whom I have spoken concerning your
delegate give him credit for great po-
litical shreWdness, hard work, con-
stant attention to business and for at
tending to the smallest detail as well
as to all requests that are referred
to him by his constituents. That is
what delegate is for and evidently
in Mr.. Andrews you have the right
man in the right place. Continue him
by all means and return him as your
delegate by such great majority as
will show to the administration and
to members of congress that you ap-
preciate his services and that you are
standing by him. BY so doing you
will help your own best interests in
addition to recognizing the genuine
worth and value of his past services
