To The People of the Set en
trtntli Congressional District:
I desire to take this method of
expressing my thanks and app.e-
ciation for the wonderful vote that
was cast in my behalf last Satui- ■
day. I shall always treasure this |
manifestation or confidence and !
friendship as ->ne of the finest j
compliments I have ever' received. !
I appreciate the fact that my |
hem? county gave me the largest j
percentage vote in the district, i
They gave me 67 percent vote
over all my opponents, while my
opponent, who is now in the run
off, received only 57 percent of
the votes in his home county.
I am deeply grateful for the
hundreds of people who are writ-
ing me, volunteering their sup-
port and aid and for the hundred?
which have come to my office and
home and pledged th-ir aid and
efforts in my behalf. These good
people who voted for my oppon-
ents that were eliminated and
who have pledged to me their aid
and efforts to the extent tint my
candidacy will be placed before [
fill the people.
