He gained high standing and useful
experience in congress, which is at
the service of every locality in the
District.
He freely and gladly does all that can
be done for every man, woman, and
child in the District who makes a
request, and has aided thousands.
When Congress is not in session, he
spends the time going over the Dis
trict, learning its needs and the
wishes of the people.
Members of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee have said that he knows
more about the waterways In his
District and present their merits
more effectively than any other who
appears before them.
FOUR PER CENT of the WHOLE
amount appropriated in the present
Rivers and Harbors bill is for this
District.
He has already secured over $4,000
900 for waterways, buildings and
other public purposes and will add
to that at this session over $1,000
900 more, which is an average of
over $4,000 per year.
HE is JUST AS DILIGENT, PER
sIsTENT AND SUCCESSFUL IN
ALL OTHER MATTERS PRO
NOTING THE WELFARE OF
THE PEOPLE AND THE CoUN-
TRY.
A VOTE FOR HIM is A VOTE FOR
A FAITHFUL, INDUSTRIOUS
HONEST, ABLE AND EFFECT
I'VE PUBLIC SERVANT.
Congress being now in session he
leaves his candidacy in the hands
of the voters, to whom he serves
their interests in Washington.
He will appreciate all that is said and
done in his behalf.
