Dear Sir:

As heretofore announced, I am a candidate for the Repub-
'lican nomination for Representative in Congress, at the pri-
office, nor do 1 know that the Office needs me; but / have for
years held the conviction that I can be of real service to the
people of Wyoming in that position. l am under no obliga-
class and Nv will be- n a position % to act without bias preiudic ce
or wrongful. influence, on all matters pertaining to the state
and nation.
All my life I have been a believer in and a supporter of
the principles and policies of the Republican party. I began
serving the S5 party as a "parader' in my sixth year. in 1876
its measures and candidates in 1892, at which time I finished
have been spent as a citizen of Wyoming. Barring the cam
paign OF 1912, and my term of service in the Sixth District
ing supporter of the Republican party and its candidates in

bench in 1919, had the honor and satisfaction of again fight
o. meetings Of Hon: Frank W: Mondell,, whose iabors were
such, of having occupied a number of offices through and un-
Wyoming, in public and private life, will either commend or
fail to commend me to the voters of the Republican party as
Our party has been solidly reunited since 1916. There are
no divisions. All are Republicans, No issue between Repub;
should be maintained. 1t is essential. I am not seeking the

an independent" or as a regular" but as a Republican.

No man is a stronger believer in organization than I am.
with and under the Republican state central committees Of
Nebraska and Wyoming. The working machinery Of the
ganization is the agent of the voters, the rank and file of the
party. The organization has no preferred candidates at the
primaries and our state central committee has so plainly de-
clared.
The party system is in forcein this country. 1t is the only
way at present to crystalize public opinion and formulate gov
ernmental. ideas of the people into law. AS between democ-
racy and Republicanism, there has never been a time when
there was a question or a doubt but that Republicanism was
best for our country.
I take it for granted that the intelligent mass of the Re
publican voters of Wyoming will select their candidate for
Representative because Of his qualifications, his belief in Re.
publican principles and his ability to present them in behalf
of the party and all Republican candidates. On this basis I
submit my name at the primaries, standing on the last Re-
publican national platform, the Indiana state platform as
adopted this year in state convention, and on my record as a
citizen and a Republican. On this basis 1 earnestly ask your
support and your vote at the primary election August %,
1922. If the Republican voters of this state have a better
qualified man and a stronger party candidate for the office
of Representative and who, in their judgment, can secure a
higher vote in the election to follow for himself and all the
Republican candidates, I shall cheerfully acquiesce. If not,
it seems to me that 1 can reasonably ask their support for the
nomination. l will deeply appreciate your vote at the pri-
mary election. Yours sincerely,
CHARLES E. WINTER
