Mr.. John N. Gruhl,
Winslow. Arizona.
My dear Mr.. Gruhl:
Following the customary pro-
cedure in debates and court prac-
tice. a few words in reply to
your letter of the 9th instant
will be proper.
1t is pleasing to me to know
that you had been wrongly quo
ted in the statement attributed
to you, but the fact remains
that some of my closest and best
friends gained the impression
(which they retain) you had
rather positively stated / would
not be q candidate for re-elec-
ton.
appreciate your pledge of
support in case / am nominated
and wish to assure you of my
reciprocation in the event you
are the successful nominee.
Throughout the state this office
is rather peculiar in that it's in
cumbents serve several terms.
In Navajo County my prede-
cessor held the office for nearly
eighteen years consecutively,
even being elected to the
position after having held it for
nearly fifteen years by appoint
ment. He retired of his own
free will and accord.
Believing that | have conduct
ed the office in such a manner as
would merit my unemployment
by the good people of Navajo
County, had no besitancy
in seeking reelection and no
thoughts that a third term
would be frowned upon.
Very truly yours,
Lloyd C. Henning.
