mcnt follows:
Recently have been asked
several times if l would be a can
didate to succeed myself in Con-
gress in the approaching Demo.
cratic Primary. Of course my an
swer has been definitely yes, be-
cause it would be practically use
less to come to Congress and retire
Just when l have reached the level
where l can render my best serv-
ices by reason of experience and
seniority gained. have never been
one to accept important RESPONSE
bilitieS and quit before / felt the
job was well done. This was true
when l served as Solicitor of the
Ninth Judicial District and this
principle will always be a part of
me-" Carlyle said.
This is my sixth year in Con-
gress and 1 now have important
committee assignments, gained
by seniority, which enable me to
serve my constituents and the
people of this country better, and
1 know that the opportunities for
wider services are unfolding each
day.
Since l announced my candi-
dacy for Congress the first time
l have been running for re-elec-
ton each day by giving to this
high office my best services. 1
shall return to the District in am
pie time before the Primary to
contact the people in every area
OF the seven counties, first to
thank them for their many acts of
kindness and friendship, and earn
estly solicit their continued sup
port" he said.
MY campaign, as always, will
be conducted on a high plane.
Experience has taught me that
this is the best policy. The injec-
ton of personalities will have no
place in my campaign because I
snail run for reelection upOn
my record and upon my position
on the issues which now confront
the people OF my District and the
country. During the course Of
the campaign i want to discuss
personally, through the press, and
by means of radio, the great is
sues that are now claiming the
attention of the people in all parts
OF our District because 1 am anx-
Ious for them always to know my
position on the many subjects
that are of such great importance
to all of us.
Il am sincerely grateful to all of
my many friends in the Seventh
District who have given me the
opportunity to represent for three
terms the best Congressional Dis
trict in the United States. l look
forward to rendering even greater
services in the future and YOUR
continued confidence and support
viii be deeply appreciated in the
Democratic Primary in May" Car

COP Precinct Day
Set For October 8th

Based on the premise that
knocking on your neighbor's door,
VIII win the 1854 elections, a brill
liant new chapter in American
political history will be written
Friday (Oct. 81 with Observance of
Republican National Precinct Day.
A years planning will be climaxed
tonight when President Eisen-
hover and Vice President Nixon
address party caucuses across the
nation on the biggest TV-radio
hookup ever used politically. The
half-hOur simulcast will be carried
over an augmented CBS-TV net
work Of 15S stations and the NBC
and Mutual radio networks of 5S4
stations.
Broadcast time is $3.50 p. M, EST,
with a delayed broadcast to Pacific
Coast, states beginning at $3.50 p. m.
psf.
Precinct day began at dawn today
when COP Congressional and local
candidates begin meeting new and
old party workers at small "pOw-
vows" in neighborhoOd homes.
Emphasizing the Importance of
recruiting new workers at the DOW
vows, Republican National Chair
man Leonard w. Hall said:
This election will be won by
knocking on your neighbor's door.
National Precinct Day sets the
stage for two vital goals: recruit
ing workers who will help us get
out again the $4,000, 900 voters who
selected President Eisenhower. and
a Republican Congress in 1852, and
signing up in Republican ranks
the 100000 voters who failed to
cast their ballots for Congressional
candidates Of either party in 1852.
The President is expected to
speak out directly to urge election
of Republican candidates, following
up his Hollywood Bowl address Of
September % when he called for
renewal Of the 1852 zeal and vigor
OF COP campaign organizations.
Republican National Precinct Day
was originated last winter by the
National Federation Of Republican
Women.
