G M Dean Writes Asking
Voters to Support
Mcdonald

Fletcher Okla. June 2 1915.
To my many friends and fellow
Republicans of Knox County first
thanking you for past fayors per-
NIT me to ask you, one and all to
go to the August Primary and
cast your votes for Henry Nc
Donald for Circuit Court Clerk
of Knox Co. as you all know he
had hard fight in the past pri-
mary and after being nominated
had to make another hard fight
in the final election. and under
the existing circumstances it is
justly due him. | have known
Henry from his boyhood and his
father before him and they was al
ways willing and ready to help
their friends. 1t has always been
customary to give the second
term. SO tell his opponent that
it is due Mcdonald and he ought
not to make a fight against him.
1t might seem strange to you
all for me to ask you all this ia.
vor, but | am away from you all
and Knox County is my native
home and my heart and best
wishes are with you now and
forever, Rs.pt, yours
G, "a Dean
