ton, of Denton, Carter county, can
didate for Congress on the Republi

can command and secure a greater
number of votes in November thar
any other candidate. We submit the
following reasons why you should

9Th:
L /. He is competent and well quail
fed for the position he seeks. He be-
longs to the masses; was born of poor
but honorable parentage; worked as
a common laborer; saved his wages
Educated himself as a teacher and
lawyer, afterwards engaged in BUSH
ness and by his answering honesty,
fair dealings and energy, he has sue
ceeded II elected he will carry into
his legislative career the same bust
ness methods, the same fairness of
spirit and the same devotion to duty
that has characterized him in his bust
ness relations.
2. He is the most available man in
the district. If there is Republican
within the confines of the Ninth Dis
trict who can win in November that
man most assuredly is A. ]. Penning-
ton. Being related by blood and mar
riage to a large number of strong and
influential Democratic families in the
district who are sympathizers of his
in the primary, and who will Loyalty
support him in November, he is the
most formidable candidate. 1t takes
votes to win. Pennington can get them
in November. Remember this. To be
more speciic-in view of this strong
Relationship together with the orner
qualities of the man, he can Increase
Lawrence county's majority, which
last fall was 125, to 500; Boyd county's
800 to 1900; Carter county's 1000 to
400; reduce Elliot County's majority
from 900 to 200 thereby overcoming
Stanley's meager majority last fall,
which was about 900 in the district
3. lie has been identified with
the Republican organization in Car
ter county for a number of years and
has assisted in building up a strong
and aggressive party, which in the
last few years has increased it's ma
iority from 800 to over one thousand
and fifty. He has not only devoted his
time, talents and energies to organiza-
ton work, but has fought at the polls

out the vote. Last, but not least, he
has contributed literally to each and
every campaign waged by his party for
several years past
4. Carter county has a greater num-
Der of Republicans than any other
county in the district, and last fall
gave to Morrow and the Republican
State ticket the largest majority of any
county, yet no Republican of Carter
has ever had the honor of representing
the district in Congress Consider our
