content myself with placing my name
before the people as best I can. I have
no influential or wealthy friends or
relatives on whom to rely for support
in furthering my candidacy, but rely
entirely on the wishes Of the people as
expressed at the polls. should they see
fit to honor me with the office, I shall
endeavor to fully compensate by faith
full attention to the duties of the Of
fee, should they see fit to refuse me
the office, I shall accept their choice
without criticism, as my struggles and
disappointments in life have been too
many to allow 1t to deter me in my
efforts to meet with success in my
chosen profession. I am not a polite
Ian within the meaning of one con-
stantly seeking an office. and am now
asking for office only for the reason
that I feel capable of filing it to the
satisfa elton of all. and that 1t will ma
teria1ly aid me in many ways in my
profession,
assure those who see fit to support
me of my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted. ~
