A Word Personal

The editor of this paper is a candi-
date for office, having been nominated
on the republican ticket at the primar-
les.
We had expected to get around
great deal more than we have been ab-
lie to do. 1t has been impossible, to
find printer to assist in the paper,
and If our efforts shall now be success
fuI, the time is so limited, that We can
only make a beginning Of an effective
canvass.
However, you know that we have
served you one term. We believe that
term was one of loyal service to you
and your interests. We have had as
surances from many men Of all parties
that it was so. II your Investigations
lead you to the same belief, | shall be
glad of your support.
II am elected. promise you the
best service of which | am capable. If
] have been uniaithful in the past or
you believe that will be unfaithful in
the future do not deserve your sup
port.
1t was the splendid support given me
two years ago by my neighbors, not on
ly in my home town. but in every town
where was best known, that made my
election possible.
hope that the same generous sup
port from the source will be mine this
year.
believe that my experience in the
last Legislature will enable me to serve
you to better advantage than did be-
fore.
