My dear Mr.. Reynolds:
write to ask you to express to the
Democratic voters of Iowa the deep
interest which l feel in the election
of Congressman Connolly to the SEN
ate.Sa 81. --'~H..
He is a young man of unusual abil-
ity with a genuine interest in public
affairs, and is in sympathy with the
effort of the masses to secure those
reforms necessary to insure justice
between man and man. He has made
an excellent record in Congress and
withsthis experience will, I am sure,
make, a splendid Senator. He has
the President Loyalty and
can be Of still, greater assistance in
the upper House.
II l an. leave Washington during
the campaign, l hope to make a few
speeches in Iowa, but as I cannot pos.
sibly come before October, l write now
In order that l may render him every
assistance in my power.
Yours very truly,

My dear Doctor Reynolds. =
l have noticed with deep interest
the progress that you, and the Demo.
cratic State Committee are making In
its efforts to elect a Democrat to the
States Senate from Iowa.
1t would be very gratifying to me
II this could be accomplished and L
am writing to say that if there IL
anything that l can properly and con-
sistently do, l hope you will not hest.
tate to command my services.
1 am sure it is unnecessary for m
to tell you that there is not in Con.
gress "a Representative more loyal
and faithful to the interests of the
people than Mr. Connolly and he has
earnestly supported President Wilson
and the Administration in its policies.
In order that the President may
carry to completion the reforms which
the people themselves have inaugur-
ated and that the administration may
be continued in the interest OF better
and cleaner government, the President
be sustained by having IN the
States Senate a working ma
jority of his own party who will sup
port him. Mr.. Connolly has ability
and the courage of his convictions and
is big enough to rise above; partisan
ship and champion the rights of all,
Irrespective or political utilization, and
at the same time he is a good enough
to support Democratic Doc
trine.
l have such confidence in the fair.
ness and wisdom Of the electorate Of
the splendid State of Iowa that I am
in my W mind that they
will not hesitate to repose in Mr.. Con-
molly any confidence and trust he may
seek at their hands, If only they can
him as he is.
With every assurance Of esteem and
best wishes for your success, believe
Very sincerely,
(Signcl) A. s. BURLESON.
