that would do what I told them lo,

impossible for me lo perform the

This Week lit Texas
History
It has been my pleasure to serve
the good people of this county in the
capacity above stated for one term.
In litis announcement for re-election
lor a second term there are two
things for which I want to expres,
'appreciation— First, for the splendid
support given me last election; and
second, for the cooperation given me
during this my first term to hold
public office. Too many times we: i
elect a public official and begin
l eiipini-; criticism upon him the,very
day he takes office. This criticism I
luuo not received, i appreciate^ I his
i .ore than I a,n able to express.
in in/ original announcement last
election I stated 1 would put forth
i-iy host efforts to hold the office, if
elected, with credit both to myself
and lo,the county, i trust I have hot
betrayed your confidence in thir re-
spect. I believe the experietic I have
gained this year will enable me to
render more efficient service next
term. I, therefore, ask for and solicit
the support oi ail voters in this cam
paig.n for re-election for ii second
term.
Yours for efficient service,
