TO THE VOTERS OF
McNAIRY COUNTY

TO THE VOTERS OF
McNAIRY COUNTY
You have honored me by elect
ing me to the House of Repre-
sentatives of the General Assem-
bly, in the past, and by my con-
duct in the House | tried to make
record that would warrant your
approval.
To you | wish to return my
deepest thanks for your splendid
trust and express my appreciation
and pride in having the privilege
of representing the people of Nc
Marry county. TRUST have nev-
er done and never will do any
thing to disturb your progress
and pursuit of happiness.
If you thought as much of your
Representative as he thinks of
his constituents, we would all be
satisfied.
I have kept the faith in the SER
vice you commanded in strict con-
formity with my public pledges
to which | felt myself solemnly
obligated.
Y, 1t cannot be to my personal
profit in dollars and cents to again
go to the General Assembly, nev-
ertheless, now come to you and
ask an endorsement of my record
as your Representative by reel
ecting me Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1920.
We now have Woman Suffrage
in every State in the Union. /
wish to say to the good, patriotic
women of McNairy county that I
think it is your duty to go to the
election and vote November 2. 1t
is not a question as to Woman
Suffrage at this time; we have
got it, and think it is here to
stay. It takes thirty-six states
to pass it, but thirteen states can
forever hold it. The good wom-
en- in this county stand for good
moral and honest government,
they stand for the church and the
Sabbath patriotism and American
ballot. These are the four cor
ner-stones upon which our great
government rests. Our nation is
now on trial and the prosperity
and happiness of our people de-
pends upon an honest ballot in
the hands of patriotic American
citizens.
This is not a year in which one
should seek individual gains in
rendering service to the State; it
is a time in which every Americ-
an should try to contribute his
time and best effort to his coun-
try.
/ stand squarely on my pres
ent and past records in the Ten
nessee legislature, and am pre-
pared to justify them, yet ready
to admit any mistake may have
made.
1 My course in the past legisla-
lature has been based upon an
honest and determined purpose
regardless of my own personal
\ interest; to stand squarely and
act only. for my direct constitu.
