Into Ring In Race for Congress

j. Fl. Smithwick throws his hat into
the ring this morning as candidate
for nomination in the primary cleo
ton to be held in June this year as
a representative in Congress, oppos-
ing ]. Walter Kehoe. In statement
last night to The Journal he gives
the dear people an idea of some of

, months, and in his statement says
that he goes into the campaign with
out making single soul promise
and enters the race absolutely UNI
fettered.
Reports of the candidacy of Mr..
Smithwick have been printed in the
West Florida press of late, but last
night he finally confirmed them. He
said to The Journal:
Mr.. Smithwick's Statement.
II am a candidate for the nomina-
ton in the primary election to be
held in June of this year as repre-
sentative in Congress for this the
Third Congressional District.
II have waited until within four and
half months of the date of the
primary TO make this announcement
in order that there might be no long
drawn out campaign in these serious
and exciting times.
III cannot in this short announce
ment state my views on the questions
that the candidates for this Office
must face in this campaign. But it is
my purpose to enter an active and
aggressive canvass of the District and
in the newspapers, in public speeches
and by the firesides of the voters [
will make plain my position on the
questions in which our people are
vitality interested.
Throughout the campaign l do
not propose to make a single human
single promise that l do not feel
reasonably certain that l can fulfill.

through the most trying period of its
history. The office of Congressman

there is no use to get mad about it,
