Maj. A. J. Mckinnon for Con
gress - Would be of Great
Value in Washington to Farm

To the Editor OF The Robesonian:
Having seen in the papers a
statement to the effect that Mai.
A. J. McKinnon, of Maxton,
would accept the nomination to
Congress from the sixth district,
though he has not announced
himself a candidate, so far as |
have seen. | wish to state that in
my opinion the people in the dis
trict could not do better than tv
name him for that position next
time.
Mr.. McKinnon is a practical
man who combines business sense
and judgment in all his under
takings, which secures for him
great success. Not only is he
practical but he is progressive
and modern in all his methods
and keeps abreast Of the times.
He is a practical farmer who
has given the subject much
thought and | see no reason but
what he would be of great value
to the farmers in Washington,
securing for US substantial helps
and benefits, as he has had vari.
ed experience and unusual sue
cess in the most modern and up.
to-date farming.
He is our candidate and we will
make no mistake by giving hin
Robson county's entire support
as he will make an able rep
resentative for all classes, and
don't believe any of US woult
have any reason to be dissatisfe,
with his record.
