am a candidate for Representa-
tive from the 62nd district, and re-
spectfully solicit your support at the
election, Nov. Z, 1916.
I might make numerous promises
as to what I will do if elected, but
quantity promises are made largely
to gain votes, and are soon forgotten
after election. Therefore, the prom
ises I have to make are few in num-
Der, but these few will be religiously
kept, if am elected.
do promise, if elected, that shall
perform the duties of Representative
to the State Legislature purely in the
interest of the people, irrespective
of party consideration or political ex-
pediency.
lam opposed to the further issuing
of ditch bonds in this district until
the present judicial ditch law is
amended so that bitches will be con-
structed only where the quality of the
soil, prospective settlement and gen
eral conditions warrant same.
believe the operation Of the pres
ent judicial ditch law to be excessive
ly costly and that the homes and
property of our citizens, which are
pledged for the payment of the in
terest and principal of said bonds,
have been jeopardized by the enor-
nous issue Of bonds, and the high rate
of interest paid therefore. ~ q. -
I will do all I can to secure legis-
lation to relieve the county from any
possible future payment of said ditch
loans. ~"
My politics are Republican, but
under the law am compelled to make
the race as Non-partisan. prom
Use also, that every citizen, regard
less of his political belief will re-
ceive the same degree Of courtesy
and attention, and that special privil-
eyes will be extended to none.
Respectfully yours,
