TO THE VOTERS
OF BOSQUE COUNTY
I am offering myself as a candi-
date for the office of Tax Collector,
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primary of July 23rd, 1932. I
am not unmindful of the duties and
responsibilities of this important of-
fice. I believe that my ability is such
that 1 can serve you in the same
obliging and efficient manner to
which you are accustomed, and
have the right to expect. I am mak-
ing this race upon my own merits,
and will attempt to pitch my cam-
paign upon such a plane as w ill mer-
it your approval. It is my purpose to
see eaeh voter in person before the
primary and until 1 shall be able to
do this, I ask your mature consid-
eration.
Now, to my friends who want to
see me elected, I wish to say that I
realize that without your support and
influence I cannot obtain the goal
which 1 am seeking. But backed by
your personal support and influence,
I will face this task with an un-
daunted courage, and will ever strive
to conduct myself in such manner as
will merit your approval and confi-
dence.
Thanking you for past favors and
any favor you may see fit to confer,
1 beg to be,
Yours to serve,
R. B. Moorman.
