For Representative

To the Voters of Marshall County,
I have served as your Representa-
tive in the Legislature one session
and am now asking for a SECOND
term. am asking this on my record,
which contains nothing / desire to
conceal. ..
In the 1915 session I opposed all
extravagant appropriations and adj
vocated larger ones than those made
in but two cases, viz: for state aid
to rural schools, and for the preven-
ton and cure Of tuberculosis.
= My reelection would result in your
Representative in the 1917 Legisla-
ture being given better committee
positions and having greater prestige
and influence than would be accorded
to a new man. With this advantage
I would be able to render you better
service and be better able to secure
the passage of any legislation in
which you might be speci lily inter
ested. ~
The pledges I made you. in 1915
have been faithfully kept, as an ex-
animation of my record will fully
prove. #
Soliciting your support and your
votes at the election on November
Y, 1916, I am,
Respectfully yours, -.

down completely five minutes after we mad
started, so we had to make the journey by

over again, we forgot the provisions, and
didn't discover the oversight until we were
well on our way The moment we arrived at
the beach it began to rain violently and con-
tinued to do so all day. Consequently there
was no bathing, no sunburn, and no jolly
luncheon on the sand. We had a Lucullan
shore dinner, at an outrageous price, at the
hotel. and in the afternoon we sat before
log fire and read until it was time to catch
the train back. 1t was the best outing l
ever had.
