lam a candidate for State Treasurer
subject to the action of the Democratic
party at the approaching primary for
the selection of State House Officers.
Long am* faithful service in that office
as Treasurer and as Assistant Treasurer

candidacy is based. On this record I
beg the support of the people.

FOR CONGRESS.
lain a candidate for renomination to
the 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 I invite the closest scru
tiny, justifies me in saying that I have
discharged every duty and obligation to
the people who have honored me with
that high and responsible office. During
the entire period of my service in the
House, I have been faced by a Republi
can majority, strongly adverse in senti
ment ami policy to the best interests of
the people of my section, but my record
here will demonstrate that in every word
I have spoken and in every vote I have
cast, I have had an eve 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 pall with all the force ayd vigor of j
my being. As the Representative of aj
free people, I have denounced tyranny in
whatever form it has appeared, and ac
tively participated in the movement to
wrest the control of the House from the
arrogant despotism that has been erected
in the people’s forum by the Speaker and
his Committee on Rules. My record in
this and all 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 party.
Believing that my long experience will
enable me to serve more efficiently the
people of the District in the next House,
which, from all indications, will.be Dem
ocratic, and with grateful appreciation
of their support and confidence in the
past, I ask a renomination at the hands
of my constituency.
