Mr.. j. E. DeFord,
Jackson, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
| have your letter solicit
ing support in your race fon con-
gress. Your circulars you are
distributing make the claim that
you are the Republican Candi
date" and since | am a Progress
sive | feel that | should support
the candidate who more nearly
represents the principles | stand
for and for which our leader
Theodore Roosevelt stands for,
Ia the past few races you have
been such an active supporter of
Mr.. Sims against your own nom.
inees that it is strange now that
you feel you are the man in the
District the people should vote
for in preference to MIR. Sims.
If Mr.. Sims was good enough for
you for several years past he is
good enough for me to vote for
this time. Your active opposi-
ton to Mr.. Murray, my county
man, when he was a candidate,
shows that you are not dependa-
BILE as a party man.
Yours truly.
B. GRIssoM.
