G. Brown should be Kept on the Job"
by the people of the Second District.
If space allowed it. seventy JUST as
good reasons could be given.
d Accepting the platform and the
man the Second District elected Jun
iors Brown in 1910 He made good.
That is the reason why the people Of
the Second district reelected him in
1912. They did not believe in discharg-
ing faithful and efficient emplyee, so
they rewarded him by continuing him
in service. The same reason for vot-
ing to retain his services another two
years is as convincing now as it was
two years ago-only more so, for a
longer experience has made him much
more valuable as Congressman,
(2.) As member of the Banking
and Currency Committee of the House
by reason of his experience as bank
er and man of large skill in financial
matters, his was an important part in
framing the new banking and currency
act, which is one of the epochal chang
es brought about in the history of our
nations monetary system. For his
part in that great piece CT 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 APP
probation of his important part in this
great accomplishment.
| 60 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 fol-
consistent support and unremitting en-
ergy. A record that proves him rep,
resentative progressive to the needs Of
the hour and abreast of the times in
step with the march of the common
people toward the ideals of the Gov,

"a In the conduct of the routine Of
his position-the countless detail.
which make the office of a live-wir,
Congressman veritable mart of bust
ness, he has known no partisan line
and made no distinctions among hi
constituents. All have been served
alike. Their individual affairs hav,
been promptly considered and looked
to with interest and industry. Wheth
er appealed to in person or by letter
no constituent but has been the re
cipient of prompt consideration.

ment of Washington.
90 Approachable at all times, per
sonally delightful friend and compan
ionable gentleman, mentally alert

strain Of political demands, just an,
fair in his treatment of men and issues
keenly alive to the evolutionary devel
opments of the times, Congressman
! Brown is a credit and an honor t.
those who have reposed confidence il
him.

doubtless will, see and accept it, an
