TO THE VOTERS OF THE 9TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT I desire to call your attention to the importance of a full vote for our nominees in the election No vember 2nd. While everyone knows that the South is entitled to the representation that we now have, yet, there is a sentiment in Congress to reduce my repre sentation on account of the small vote we poll in the November elec tion, and no doubt a bill will he introduced by some Northern Re publican in the next Congress to change our representation. There fore. I trust that the people of our District, as well as the State, will show a solid front tor the nomi nees of our Party, and that every voter will take the time to go out and vote. This is important t.o our District, the State and the South. Don’t tor get the date, November 2nd. Very sincerely yours, Til OS. M. BELL. Mrs. li. P. Q ll illian —Mrs. J. B. Thrash er. Mrs. L. H.
