from the depth of my heart appre-
ciate the partiality of my friends
in manifesting SO large a measure
of confidence in my integrity and
business ability. as to be willing to
entrust into my hands the duty of
co-laboring in the making of their
laws for the next four years. But
while I was deeply appreciative Of
their confidence. was not unmind-
full of their confidence II was not
unmindfui of my<own lf.1itations,
and was lothe to believe that
possessed the essential qualfca-
tions to fill creditably an Office that
means as much to the individua
tax payers as does this one. Feel
ing this way l authorize my name
to be placed upon the ticket on the
last day In which a candidate could
qualify for office in order that
shonld l decide to yield to the
wishes of my friends l would not
be debarred the privilege of doing
so.
Since Being, assured by my close
personal friends, as we'll as large
number of others that they were
willing to entrust the duties of this
Office to- me and that they believed
me possessed of the qualifications
to fill the same satisfactorily. l
have decided to become candidate
for the, office subject4to your wAk
to be expressed at the ballot box.
For the information of those who
do not know me. will say that l

Should you honor me by electing
me to this important Office. do
not promise to make you the best
representative that the county ever
had, but l do promise that l will
give the office my undivided time
and attention, during sessions of
the Legislature and that will
make you the best representative
that my experience and qualihca-
tions will permit :
hope to see each of you person
ally between now and election day
