have given loyal support to Presi-

country out of disastrous war.
hope l may be pardoned for sug-
gesting that my long service in the
house has brought me to the position
of ranking majority member on the
house committee on Indian affairs,
which committee has most to do with
local Oklahoma matters. This rank in
committee assignment makes me one
/ of the three house managers in con
ference on all Indian matters, where
much legislation is finally perfected
and has served of inestimable bene-
fit in getting legislation which our
people so justly deserve.
While l am taking no part in any
other candidates campaign. it would
be egotistic on my part and unjust TO
nv colleagues should I fail to call
attention to the loyal support every
other member of the Oklahoma dele
CATION has given to all these measures.
Naturally my position on the Indian
committee has enabled me to take the
lead with reference to Indian matters,
but every Oklahoma congressman,
both in the house and senate, is en-
titled to his full need of credit in
the premises.
The election Of your congressman is
of too vast Importance to be placed
upon the grounds of a contest between
persons. The issues which your con-
= gresham must face in your behalf are
of too vital consequence to be settled
on personalities. If, in your opinion,
some other can serve you more ably
and Loyalty, you will doubtless give
him your support, but if my record
T. meets with your approval, I shall APP
preciate your support more than
words can tell, and will bend my ev-
: cry effort in the future as in the past
to render my constituents the best
service of which | am capable.
In conclusion permit ME to call
your attention to the practice some
times resorted to by INSCRIPTIONS
persons in issuing campaign canards
during the closing hours OF cam
paign. Remember, l am sixteen hun
dred miles away from home attend
ing to your business and may have
no knowledge of any such misrepre-
sentations until too late to correct
same The man who will resort to
such underhand methods under these
conditions is not worthy the support
of such high-class citizenship as com
pose the third congressional district
of Oklahoma.
Most respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
