SISSON TO
THE VOTERS
Congressman From His Post of
Duty Addresses His
Constituents

To the People of the Fourth
Congressional District Of Mis-
sissippi:
The election is close at hand.
My campaign has been clean and
honest. | have made no harsh
criticism Of either opponent. |
have not mentioned the names of
opponents in the pubic press,
and rarely in personal letters, ex-
cept in answer to inquiries of
my friends. My time has been
spent at my post of duty, looking
after your interests. No public
duty has been neglected. Your
interest has come ahead of any
private or personal consideration.
Knowing that | was so engag-
ed, and knowing also that it was
impossible for me to answer il
person, some political enemies
have within the last few days
made and published certain
charges of a grave and serious
personal nature. The charges
reflect upon my honor, integrity
and character. These eleventh
hour personal attacks are entirely
without justification and wholly
without foundation. | believe
that the people of the district
are too intelligent to be caught
by such cheap political tricks
and that they will resent such
conduct as simply an effort in
the eleventh hour to win an
election by slander, villification
and abuse. ! believe that such
tactics are out of date and will
meet with the contempt of all
honest. minded people.
The people of the distric t
know me and know my
record. ! have performed the
duties Of office to which you
elected me to the best Of my
ability. | have been true to
your every interest. | have en-
deavored to fulfill your conf
dence in me. To my friends in
the district who believe in fair
and honest treatment | ask thai
you rise up and by your votes
repudiate the unjust and unfair
methods which are being used
to defeat me in the closing hours
Of the campaign. | am pro-
foundry grateful to my loyal
friends who are fighting my
battles for me in my absence,
and when the victory is won it
will be theirs. pledge the peo-
pie of my district that every
effort of mind, heart and body
will be put forth in the future
is it has been in the past to
make them a congressman whom
no man in my district will ever
regret having supported.
Respectfully your friend,
(Signed) T. U. SISSON.
