I hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for reelection as your Rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifth (65thl
Congress, subject to the primary to be
held on September 18th.
During the short time l have been
your congressman, have sincerely en-
deavored to serve you faithfully, and
if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the COM
ing election. Congress has been in al
most continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as I wished. The
Ways and Means committee is now
daily working on a revenue measure;
being on that committee, must re-
main here until the new tax law is
passed. AS soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, l expect to canvass
the District, meet the people personal
ly and talk to them face to face, both
Individually and on the stump.
If reelected, I promise to discharge
tie duties of the great office with f1del-
ity and to the best of my ability.
From the depths of my heart, II
thank you for your past kindness to-
me. Cordially yours
