Senator Funk. Anraune.m,nt

IT ID my privilege az senator from
his district, as his neighbor and long
time friend to nominate and support
A. B. Funk. Of Spirit Lake as a re-
publican candidate for the United
States senate. l have known him all
my life and believe him to be worthy
OF our highest honors.
Nearly forty years ago as a mere
boy Abe Funk walked into Spirit Lake
to make an humble beginning in a ca
reer that has substantially contributed
to the better purposes Of public and
private life and given him standing
among the foremost citizenship of our
state. His private record has been ir-
reproachable. his heart Is sound. his
views are sane. his ability is ample.
his patriotism is unfailing and his
courage in the support of opinions
based upon iuil Consideration is UNI
Questioned.

cace. In its comprehensive program
during .nese most eVen,ful ses io.,s this
s.ea, commit ee was never denied ne
support of the senate III a single meas
,.ie OF importance.
The commission Of which Mr.. Funk
vas chairman, expended nearly half
million of money In capital improve
,nents and in the moments Of bitterest
party strife, no word Of criticism as to
the int gritty of this service was ever
heard.
For many years Mr.. Funk has been
the trusted counsellor Of public men
trusted because of his absolute candor,
his disinterested attitude and his sound
Judgment.
MAY we not safely assume, my fell
low LEGISLATORS, that such q man with
such experience and equipment, gives
abundant and substantial promise OF
efficient service in the highest counsels
of the nation. Is there anything ex-
detrimental in taking this man who has
in various important relations been
thoroughly tested and always made
good?
The Beacon published by Mr.. Funk
was the first newspaper ever saw. I
almost learned to read from its coy
umns. It was the one thing my mother
was selfish oversize must always be
the first to read 1t. Based upon such
an acquaintance. so sure am OF Mr.
Funk and Of his recofd'and his ability.
that in the event of his election I feel
that I am giving to my party, my state
and my country. the best service Of
which l am capable in supporting the
candidacy OF A. B. Funk to membership
in the senate Of the United States"
