During his term of office he has
had to trv many and varied kinds
of cases, hut in all of them he has
had wonderful success. Since his
first term of office he has always
stood squarely ON the proposition
that he did not want another term
unless the people were satisfied
with his record of things actually
done. He has asked no man for
recommendation, but simply
pointed to his record. He has
often been heard to say, THAT if
man in public life cannot show
something that he has done that
would justify his return to office
then he should be defeated"

years ago it seemed that this am

when the Mexican Crisis and the

that many thought it best to keep
him where. he was. This can be
said, he is fighter and if he gets
to Congress he will fight for the
rights Of the people of this district.
