On account of weather con
ditions and condition of the roads
il is going to be impossible for
me to get around and seethe
people, and further the duties of
the office has to be performed
during acampaign as well as any
other time.
However, if the weather gets
better, and the roads get in
shape that I can get over them,
I will see just as many of you as
I can in the short time that we
have between now and election
day, any that I fail to see lam
asking for their support just the
same, wish that I could see and
talk with every one of you.
I want to thank the people of
Wheeler County for their sup
; port in the past, I have served
them as best I could, and if ele
, cted I promise to perform the
duties to the best of my ability,
in the future giving them just
. such service as they are entitled
to as their Ordinary,
Again I. solicit your support
’ and influence, thanking you in
advance for so doing.
I am your true friend,
