I hereby respectfully announce my
candidacy for re-election as your rep
resentative in the Sixty-Fifty (65th)

if my efforts and record meet with
your approval, I will feel greatly hon
ored and profoundly grateful if you
will give me your support in the com
ing election. Congress has been in
almost continuous session since you
elected me, and duty required me to
stay here, which prevented me from
visiting you as often as I wished. The
Ways and Means Committee is naw‘
daily working on a Revenue Measure;
peing on that committee, I must re
main here until the new tax law is
passed. As soon as Congress adjourns,
or before then, if public business will
permit me to leave, I expect to can
vass the district, meet the ople per
sonally, and talk to them face to face,
both individually and on the stump.
If re-elected, I promise to discharge
the duties of the great office with fidel
ity and to the best of my ability.

thank you for your past kindness to
me. Cordially yours,

ind the procurement of such neces
sary changes as will prohibit the
shipment of intoxicating liquors in pro
-libited territory; and will earnestly
advocate every legal measure that will
‘end to procure for the whole people
National Prohibition. |
1. I will support such rural credit
legislation as will actually give to
the farmers of our country the relief
rhat has been so often promised, by
making available to them, with good
security on land or cotton, long loans
>f money at low rates cof interest, such
loans to be made directly by the gov
arnment to the farmers
3. I will favor a sufficiently equip
ped army and navy to command peace
1t home and respect abroad, and the
nanufacture of our navy and army
quipment by the government.
4. The restriction of immigration
at least to the extent of recruiting im
nigrants to register, giving all infor
mation necessary as to their previous
iives and the signing ct a pledge that
within three months after entering
yur country they will become citizens
n a legal way. s

affairs of church and state.

>f the Parcel Post system, to the end
hat the rural districts throughout the

1 purpose to conduct my campaign
‘n a high plane. Ido not desire to be
slected on the demerits of others, but
»n my merits alone.

his district, I promise to faithfully
