To The Voters Of Repre- L, H. (Lawsom Goodwin
sentative District No, 118 tor Public Waigiier Pre. No 5,
1 wish to state in coming be-
fore you for re-election for a
second term the place is one you
have to let and I tried to serve
you to the best of my ability in
the 38th session as my record is
down in black and white if you
care to examine same and if you
find 1 went crooked then vote a-
gainst me as 1 at all times voted
my convictions and not to please
the other fellow to which 1 have
no apoligies to make in the regu-
lar Session we held Sixty-Six
days and I answered Roll Call
sixty-six times. I put over every
proposition that I undertaken, I
am the author of the Bill that
abolished the Exemption certifi-
cate Law which compelled all
boys and girls who became twen-
ty-one years of age after Febru-
ary first to go before the tax col-
leetoJ and procure a certificate of
■exemption so as they may vote
in the following Election. I feel
.5 am better qualified to serve a
second term by the experience 1
have had I shall always cast my
vote to the best of my ability to
benefit the majority and shall
rver be ready to respond to any
worthy call I would very much
appreciate if 1 could meet every
voter in the District but the
District covers six counties and
jhat would be a big undertaking
wo 1 take this method of announ-
cing to you my candidacy and
wou Id appreciate your votes.
Yours very Res.
