In most cases, the work and the results were volun- tary and without any urging from the members of the town committee or myself. l feel that the great vic tory given the republican party in town is an expression of the conii- dence of the people of riainvlle in President Coolidge, and it is my earnest hope that the republican party will make good in the coming administration"
