DILLON, MONTANA, July "a, 1928
HONORABLE J. w. SCHNITZLER,
FROID, MONTANA.
My dear Senator:
am very glad to know that you ire to again u for State Sen
ator from your county.
without any attempt at f1attery, I wish to say that in my opinion
you were one of Montana's most valuable Senators during the past
two sessions. No member of that body had a keener insight into
Montana's affairs or gave more loyal support to those measures OF
benefit to the State Of Montana. You always took a leading part in
any progressive legislation. You gave particular attention to matters
that would be of benefit in northeastern neutrality-suspicious. your
own county.
am confident that people of your county appreciate your err
vices and that you will be returned to the Senate.
Montana needs more men like yourself, willing to give up their
time to serve in such capacities.
With kind regards, am
Very truly yours,
FRANK A. HAZELBAKER,
Past Republican State Chairman.

tells of Schnitzler's fight for good roads, the Dis
tricting bill, and the Refund bill. He was the first
to open the fight for this measure which meant the

tractors by the farmer. There are over 400 tractors
