ior' Brown in 1910. tie made good
That is the reason why the people of
the Second district reelected him i'm
1912. Thev did not believe I'm dis
charging a faithful and Efficient en-
pioyee. so they rewarded him by con-
unuing him in service. The same rea-
son Tor voting TO retain his services
another two years is as convincing
now as 1t was two years ago-only
more so. for a longer experience has
made him much more valuable as n
Congressman.
CD AS a member OF the Banking
ana currency Committee. OF the House
by reason CT HIS experience as a bank
er and man of large skill i'm flnan-
ciaI matters. his was an important
part In framing the new banking and
currency act, which is one of the epo-
chal changes brought about in the his
tory of our nations monetary system.
For his part in that great piece OF
legislation he received the personal
thanks of President Wilson and the
praise OF his colleagues. The people
OF his district should be no less frank
in showing appreciation OF his impor-
tant part in this great accomplish
ment.
CD In the long list of achievements
to the credit of the Congress under
the guidance and with the council of
our great President, he has record
for consistent support and unremitting
energy. A record that proves him a
representative progressive to the
needs of the hour and abreast of the
times in step with the march OF the
common people toward the ideals or
the government.
t4) In the conduct ~ the routine OF
his position the countless details
which make the office OF a live-wire
Congressman q veritable mart of busi-
ness. he has known no partisan lines
and made nC distinctions among his
constituents. All have been served
alike. Their individual affairs have
been promptly considered and looked
to with interest and industry. Wheth-
or appealed to in person or by letter,
no constituent but has been the re-
cipient OF prompt consideration.
(5) He has given all his time and
attention to the affairs of his office and
the business of his constituents Gr-
respective OF politics) with the gov
ernment at Washington.
(6) Approachable at all times, per-
sonally delightful friend and COM
panionable gentleman. mentally alert,
physically vigorous to withstand the
strain of fficial demands, just and fair
in his treatment OF men and issues,
keenly alive TO the evolutionary de-
velopment" of the times, Congressman

those who have reposed confidence in
him.
tO When the people get a good
man for any public job they have to
fill, why change him for new and
untried hand? In the world of bust
ness, when they get first-rate en-
ployee they hold on to him. Success
full government in this Republic is
largely matter of successful bust
ness. Lincoln said Don't swap
horses when crossing stream"
Mighty large chunk of common, corn
field sense, that. The voters of the
Second district should, and doubtless
will. see and accept it. and keep Jun
ior' Brown at Washington to continue
another two years to satisfactorily
represent them.
