ole benefit in getting legislation
which our people so justly deserve
While am taking no part in any
other candidates campaign, il would
be egotistic on my part and unjust
to my colleagues should l fail to
call attention to the support every
other member of the Oklahoma dele
cation has given to all these meas
ures.
Naturally. my position on the In
dian committee has enabled me to
take the lead with reference to In
dian ma ters, but every Oklahoma
Congressman, both in the House and
Senate, is entitled to the 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 ne
tween persons. The issues which
your Congressman must face i'm your
behalf are of too vital consequence
to be settled on personalities. IT, in
your opinion. some other can serve
gou iuoit ANY anu loAdli9f you Will
doubtless give him your support !:
but If my record meets with your
approval, ! shall appreciate your
support more than words can tell.
and will bend my every effort In the
future as i'm the past to render my
constituents the best service of
which l 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. | am sixteen hun
dred miles away from home attend
ing to your business, and may have
no knowledge of such misrepresen-
tations until too late to correct the

port OF such high-class citizenship
as composes the Third Congression-
