FROM JOHN E. DAVIS
Despite the fact that my op
ponent is basing his campaign
solely on criticism • f me. anil
saying things about me that
seem intended to reflect on
my honesty and to place tm
in an attitude that i* not
borne out by the facts and b*
ecord, I am very much grati-
fied at the continued loyalt >
and trust of my friends in
every section of the' c unty
and city. I especially ask the
votes of mv friends and neigh-
l>ors in this section of the
county.
I know that 1 m-kc mis-
trke«,but if reelected as my
inends says 1 will he. beyond
quest top. tlte people can de-
peiwl on me to do my very
best to render honest and
