To the voters of the Sixth Tongresslonßl District:—l am a candidate for Congress subject to the Democratic nomination. Before the election—the dnte of which has not been llxed—l would like to grasp the hand and speak face to face with each voter In the district, but this will hardly be pos sible. Hence, I shall endeavor to reach the voters and make known my platform—my views on public questions—through the medium of letters, the newspapers and pub lic addresses. Whereof I speak I will be glad to have my distinguished opponent meet me In joint debate; and shall invite him to do so. Believing in a clean election and an hon est ballot,l am opposed to the use of money, whiskey, or any other thing for the purpose of purchasing votes; and believe the Ex ecutive Committee should refuso declare as the nominee anyone who secures a majority by such practices.
