HARDIN ANNOUNCES
FOR CONGRESS
To the Voters of the Eighth Con-
gressional District:

After a careful survey of the stu
alton in the Eighth Congressional
District. l am persuaded that the col
lective sentiment of the democratic
voters in the majority of the counties
composing the district is favorable to
my candidacy for Representative.
Otherwise, I should not feel Justified
in announcing myself as candidate
for position carrying with it such
signal honor for myself, and such
ents, and especially, at a time in the
history of the world, when statesman
ship, to be personally credible and
worthy of the honor must ignore small
things and things of partisan pre-
judice, and give itself wholly and un-
selfishly to great constructive plans
of national advancement and develop
ment. Stimulated -fattered it may
be-by the belief that so large a
number of the democratic voters of
this splendid district consider me
worthy to represent them in Congress
during possible and very probable,
epoch-making period in the worlds
history, and with an enthusiastic ap-
probation of the personality, and the
exalted craftsmanship of our great
President, whose policies trust, shall
constitute my working program, if
elected, I hereby announce myself a
candidate in this district for the office
of Representative in Congress, sub
ject to the action of the democratic
party. 1t is my wish that selection
of the nominee for the position be
made by primary election, held at a
time when every party voter in the
district shall have opportunity to reg
lister his free. and voluntary choice.
After the most demoralizing war
the world has ever known, we are
upon period of re-adjustment, and it
will be my highest ambition, in or out
of Congress, to support unflinching-
ly the man, who more than any of all
the great men among our allies, has
held-the torch of liberty for strug-
Cling world. Respectfully,
IT. CHAS. A. HARDIN.
