a political campaign. We have both
served the people in public office
Friendly newspapers have spoken
kindly of our few good qualities, and
unfriendly ones have pointed out our
weaknesses. The people therefore are
fairly well advised as to our quaiifi-
cations.
In view of this situation, let us join
in making this a unique senatorial
contest. Let us be able to report no
receipts or expenditures, either by
ourselves or by our friends. To this
end let us do away with personal
campaign headquarters and political
managers, also with advertising and
speechmaking. Such an arrangement
would leave the senator free to devote
his entire time, to his senatorial duties
and me to engage in some war activity
We both would thus be rendering the
best possible service to our country.

proval at the hands of the senator.
