ANNOUNCEMENTS FOll CONGRESS. lama candidate for renomination to »;he office of Representative in Congress from the Sixth District in the primary election, which, under the law,, will be held next August. I believe that my record as a Represen tative, of which 1 invite the closest scru tiny, justifies me in saying that 1 have! ■dischargedevery duty and obligation to j the people who have honored me with ■that high and responsible office. During the entire period of my service in the House, 1 have been faced by a Republi can majority, strongly adverse in senti ment and policy to the best interests of tin 1 people of my section, but my record here will demonstrate that in every word l have spoken and in every vote 1 have cast, 1 have had an eye single to the hon or and welfare of the people 1 represent . Whether my duty as a Representative has called me to resist the insiduous at- ( tempts that are being constantly made to [ undermine the sovereign dignity of the ' State, to oppose the encroachments of : organized monopoly upon the rights and substance of the people, or to defend the institutions and glorious traditions of our own section, I have responded to that call with all the force and vigor of; my being. As the Representative of a free people, I have denounced tyranny in whatever form it has appeared, and ac tively participated in the movement to wrest theoontrol of the House from the arrogant despotism that lms been erected in the people’s forum by the Speaker and iiis Committee on Rules. My record in this and till other matters will most con clusively show that I have never on any occasion faltered or hesitated in the course of duty dictated by perfect loyalty to my constituents and parti Relieving that my long etfjterience will enable me to serve move efficiently the people of the District in the next House, which, from all indications, will be Dem ocratic, and wi 'i grateful appreciation of their support and confidence in tdie past, I ask a renomination at the hands .of my constituency. C. L. Bartlett. "To the people of the .Sixth Congressional District: I am a candidate for Congress subject to Democratic nomination. In this announcement I will not un dertake to incorporate my entire plat form, but cannot refrain from saying .that as a member of Congress T would .strenuously oppose all extravagant expenditure of the people’s money and all unnecessary and burdensome tax ation, and every effort made to en croach upon “states rights” and would stand unflinchingly and unfalter ingly against all laws in conflict with the principle “Equal rights for all and special privileges to none.” 1 believe that this should lie in reality as it is in theory agoverment of the peo aple, by the people and FOR the people As your representative I would devote to the duties of the office my time, my en ergy and whatever of talent 1 have and requests from any citizen of the District however humble he might be would re ceive prompt and careful attention. 1 f elected 1 will enter upon the discharge of my duties without pledge or promise to any man or set of men but absolutely free and independent to do my full duty as God gives me the light to see it.
