I believe that you endorse- this
idea, that is the reason I have not
been to see you yet, asking about
your vote. I don’t think it would
be right to neglect my work to do
so; however, I expect to see you be-

Don’t let anyone make you; think
you should vote against me Because
I have been county clerk four years,
for it takes years o f training to make
a sure enough county clerk. I know
one not far from here serving on his
24th year. In the meantime, let me
assure you that I will appreciate
your vote, and promise faithful ser-
vice if elected.
