Through your suffrages I have had the
honor of serving fourteen years In the
United States Senate In that period
Congress who has attained such in
fuence and prominence in such a short
time as has Congressman Knowland
Many of US would like very much
to have seen Governor Pardee, our
townsman, selected for our State stan
dard bearer again. but 1t seems that
California does not believe in more
than one term for Governor 1t fs
no reflection on Governor Pardee that
ne was not nominated the second time

splendid administration and we can go
to the election this fall and point with
pride to the record of Governor Par
dee"
