With the letter is printed d list
Of bulletins from the Agricultur-
al department.. Now, voters are
mailing these to Mr.. Stevenson
and asking questions Indicating
that they think there is an offer
of books and fish being made for
their support in the election,
One man endorses on his letter
the following, Finley is offer
Ing fish. What have you got?"
Mr.. Stevenson says that it is
impossible to write all the vot.
ers, and as this letter seems to
have been sent to all he takes
this method of answering ques-
tions being raised.
First, he assumes that it is
purely in discharge of his duty
as Congressman that Mr.. Finley
is Offering to send out fish and
books, though it is unfortunate
that he didn't make this offer
till he was in a campaign for re-
election, as that might cause
persons of suspicious nature to
make the uncharitab charge
that he expected support as a re-
suit Of the offer.
Second, Mr.. Stevenson cannot
offer anything but the promise
of faithful, honest work as a
Representative of every man
and every interest in the dis
trict, If elected, because, Cd He
has no fish or books of his own to
give, nor can he a private clti-
zen draw on the United States
to send them free. (2) He is
not able to write every voter in
the district because he cannot
frank his letter as the Congress
man does, and the postage alone
will cost $500. (3) And, if he
had the fish and books and could
send them free, being private
citizen who was under no obliea-
