SPECIAL LETTER FROM
The NATIONAL CAPITAL
Logical Reasons Why Mr. Brown Should BE
Retained In Congress For The Good
OF The District He Is Faithful
Akd He IS Honest

OF Mr.. Brown is important TO Cne DeG-
terment of many of the veterans in
his District, as well, as of like inter
ests in the state, because of his big
heart and broad mind, he is ready at
all times to aid West Virginia.
There is still many things yet the
people need and desire that they have
right to have, and one especially, is
worth considering, and that is, the
extension of the rural mail routes,
and these can be secured, by simply
taking the matter up with Mr.. Brown,
who can get as near to the Post Office
Department as any other man, while
if you were to elect a Republican, he
would be entirely out of tune with the
administration and could do nothing
for you, so the reasonable conclusion
is for all, to be of one opinion, and
that is, our interests will be the best
served in the election of Mr. Brown.
Then, there is no question, but that
President Wilson is being endorsed,
in his administration by all fairmind-
ed people in this country, and the
real, brave thing for Americans to do
in the Second District in West Vir-
ginia, is to give him the glad hand,
through the reelection of Mr.. Brown,
who has been faithful in season and
out of season to aid in the passage of
the wise measures recommended to
the Congress and if you are men,
whose bosoms swells with Ameri-
can blood, and who can appreciate
the great acts of the President, in
staving off what seemed at times, war
with Mexico, and the leaving with the
homes of the women and children, the
fathers and brothers, husbands, you
will vote for Mr.. Brown, as being the
only way you have at this time of re-
warding the Peace President, for the
peace we have today Then again, the
pride of the people of the Second Dis
trict should be held up as one of the
things, which burns in the bosom of
every West Virginian, and the know
ledge of the fact, that Mr.. Browns
ability, was at once recognized in Con-
gress, and that he has been placed on
several of the important Committees,
and that on the Banking and Currency
Committee, he at once assumed such
prominence, that he was placed on the
Subcommittee to prepare the new
Currency Law, which passed the
House, on September IS, 1913, by a
vote Of 287 to IS, the same being sup
ported in the House by 35 Republi-
cans and IA Bull Moosers, thereby
having the endorsement of all the pol
zeal parties in Congress, and the Con-
gresham from the Second West Vir-
ginia District, was one of the trainers
of that great measure, thus by his
honest, painstaking labors, he has
gained for West Virginia, an other
honored place among the states.
But, his devotion did not stop here,
but his record shows him faithful, de-
voting his time to the duties of the
high office to which the people elected
him, always-at his post, and respond
ing to roll CALL or a vote upon the
pending measures in the House of
which he was a member, and the peo-
pie of his District can feel assumed of
their interests being fully guarded, if
they re-elect him to Congress.
There are those who have been dis
appointed, either in the securing of
the appointment as Post Master, at
your home, or of some other position,
which you have sought, but it is very
evident, that but one could get the APP
pointment, and while disappointment
has come to your disliking, yet take
the broad view of the situation, and
realize that the party is greater than
any one man in it, and that the princi-
pies involved are above any one man
in the party, and true to the very prin-
ciples on which we have won, and on
which the President has made a record
that meets with the approval of an
overwhelming majority of the people,
that such miner things will not deter
you from standing by the principles
you have advocated in the years that
have gone into history.
Mr.. Brown is one of you; has lived
as one of you, and has fought with you
and endured the hardships with you
and is now the servant Of all the peo-
pie, worthy and well qualified.
Along these lines, you see, without
glasses, the kind Of man you have in
Congress and while these few exam
pies of reasons, why he is worthy of
the place, yet, the facts are, from all
other stanpoint, you want man in
Congress, who can you do the most
good and it is self-evident, that he is
the man, who can do the most good
because he is of the political faith of
