My dear Craig:
Just a note of appreciation of the
fine work you did for democracy
in the recent campaign.
Arizona is the bright spot of
democracy in the nation today. 1t
is the only state where the margin
of democratic victory was increased
over 1910. In 1910 our party was
victorious by two to one majority.
This year, that majority was in
creased to a three to one. This
fine showing is due to the leader
ship and hard work done by you
and your organization and that OF
the. other County Chairmen in the
State.
I congratulate you upon the fine
showing you have made and COM
mend you for your leadership.
With all good wishes, am,
Sincerely,
SIDNEY P. OSBORN,
