A LETTER FROM G. A, HALE

Vo 6he voters Of Missouri
township why want to be your
next road owe seer:
was the first oyerseer in this
township after the present law
enacted. When | took charge of
the roads they were in bad con-
dition. 1t took 4ne most of my
time filing up gulleys, digging
up stumps, filing in culverts and
starting bitches in their right
places. The most of the bitches
was in the wrong place and had
to be filled up and started again.
| fixed some of the roads and you
will find that my work is there
yet. The law then. was for the
county Judge to appoint the over
seers in all the counties. There
was bill pending in the legis-
lature to elect the overseers in
certain counties. Invent to Little
Rock and got our representative
to put Nevada county on the list.
Otherwise you would not have
had any say so who, your over
seer would be.
got up a private subscription
and started the levy across the
Carouse bottom at Steel bridge
and of course it had to he finished.
| have attended road conventions
and have made road building a
special study. | have graded
most of the streets in Prescott
and have done a good deal of
rail road work. This township
spends $4, 033 besides the free
and convict labor. | think can
make it go futher and be Of more
advantage to the people than
either of my competitors. Good
roads can not be made out of
dirt and water, they must be
drained, gravelIed, or bridged.
! Heavy drags. dragged through
soft mud holes, drags the mud out
and leaves the hole deeper. Water
standing by the side Of the road
will sipe in and makes the road
bed soft. will plow the ground
when it is wet, and grade it
when it is dry. will work every
road in the township. | will
work every hour the law requlr-
es. will try and never let you
regret your vote for me. Thank
ing you in advance for your vote
and influence.
Your next road overseer.

Mr.. S, A. Henry,
RussellviIie, Ark.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Your good letter of the 1st.
inst. received, and on behalf of
the National Lagis ature Com
mittee. / hasten to thank you
for the sentiment and confidence
expressed and 10 try to answer
yoW inquiry with regard to the
record and attitude Of Congress
man Joseph T, Robinson.
But first let me- say that | hope
you will never miss an 0ppor-
tunity to impress upon our friends
and brothers the necessity of
backing up the Legislature Com
mittee, for without your and
their support its efforts will and
are bound to De fruitless. Not
only must your legislative agents
here, who are merely your mouth
pieces for expressing and irving
to get your ley islative wishes, be
backed up, but, as President
said in his letter of February 1st.
''If you want your Congress man
to be what he really desires 10
be, your friend, your advocate,
you must prove yoIr loyalty to
him for his devotion to your
cause, and if he proves himself
worthy, stand by him in every
conflict, for this will give him
courage, it will make him ag-
gressive. it will make him deter
mined, and it will encourage
young men who really want to do
something for their fellow men
to enter politics and be among
those who were decribed by the
poet as Large Drained. clear
eyed, as such as he, shall free
dom's apostles be-"
| wish it were possible to make
half as good a report on every
other member of Congress repre-
senting an agricultural constit-
uency, as it is on Robinson's re-
cord here. For no one has ever
spoken more ably, intelligently,
forcibly, or done on the other
hand more personal, quiet, and
effective work in futherir g ouI
three legislative demands than
ha Congressman Joseph 7.
Robinson of Arkansas. His
speech in the House one yea,
ago on the Legislation Urged
upon Congress by the American
Farmer is one of the best anc
most conclusive arguments or
behalf of our cause that | know
of having been delivered in tha
body.
Not only has he spoken and
worked in an effective and dig
nified way. but he has been OF
great assistance in any advisor,
way to the LegislatiysCo"n'''
