RECORD OF RIDDICK

(From The Havre Promoter)

= (From The Havre Promoter) y
Two years ago Carl w. Riddick,
then assessor of Fergus county, told
the voters of eastern Montana that if
elected to congress II will be your

So well has he kept that promise and
so efficiently has he represented the
people of eastern Montana at the ma

He proved a hard worker and has
gained a position of influence, both in
congress and in the councils of the
party, such as is attained by but few
new congressman.
His ability was quickly recognized
by his fellow republican congressman
with the result that he secured a DO
sition on the agricultural committee,
a position it was believed no new
member could secure, and as a result
he has sat in the inner councils of the
party in the preparation of legislation
especially effecting the great agricul-
tural e comprising the territory
he represents, incidentally being the
only western congressman on the COM
mittee.
Riddick has been constantly and
consistently on the job. No duty has
been too small and no request has been
too large for him to attend to it. As
a result he has facilitated the securing
of patents and removed the Difficult.
