THANK YOU
for the fine demonstration of confidence and support
you exhibited in my behalf at the polls on August 10th.
It is certainly a heartwarming and deeply moving
experience for a man to know he has so many friends.
I want to assure those of you who felt committed
to any other candidate in my race that I respect and
admire such loyalty and I extend the hand of friendship
and understanding.
Although unsuccessful in my bid for office, no man
can be declared a loser who has so many wonderful and
loyal friends.
