Mr.. Chairman. Fellow Candidates
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This is a great honor to us. ] have
been going through the state at a
pretty strenuous pace for the last few
weeks. We have met some very good
audiences and good people, but l
doubt very much whether any town
can go 1t any better than this. This
is a treat, because II makes us feel
good. Now friends, we have just
finished very hard primary cam
paign; especially hard for some of
us because some of us had very
strong men to face. ! was one of
them. My opponent was one of the
grandest and best men in this state
or any other state, and my friends.

you need not be ashamed of them.
They are good strong men-eyery
one of them-and We are in perfect
harmony, working together, every
one of us for one purpose and we
want to see the ticket elected from
top to bottom. You will hear from
them, and when you do hear, my
friends, you will know why-they
will give you their reasons. 1t is not
necessary for me to say anything
about Senator Nixon. He will give
you his arguments. / will simply say
that If there was ever man who was

the candidate for Congress, Is the
same type of man practically, and you
will hear from him. l will not men,
tion the others, there are so many OF
them.
In regard to my own candidacy:
am a comparative stranger to many
of you people, but want to know you
better. / just want to tell you thai
