Poage Announces
For Re-Election
To Congress
For tho 15th time it is my
privilege to ask my friends of
the six counties 'comprising the
historic 11th Congressional Dis-
trict of Texas for re-election to
tho Congress of the United
States.
It has been a great privilege
to represent what I believe to
be the finest congressional dis-
trict in the United States. It
has been a wonderful exper-
ience to work with the best
people any Congressman could
be asked to represent. I have
sought sincerely to represent
your interests and your wel-
fare. I hope that I have been
able to do so in an acceptable
manner. r
Unless the Federal Courts
decree otherwise the 11th Dis-
trict will in the future include
eleven counties. I welcome tho
opportunity to widen the scope
of my service and I look for-
ward to making fine new
friends in the five counties
-which are coming into this dis-
trict for the first time I wld
not however want td in dny-
wise weaken the ties of friend-
ship or of Service that have de-
veloped between mo and ttie
people I have so long represent-
ed. You are in a position to fairly
;juefre whether I have been an
effective and honest Represen-
tative. If you feel that I have I
will appreciate your support in
the future.

1965 Was Wet
Year In Bartlett
With 50In. Rain
Experience is important in
any phase o$-life. In Congress
experience" is called "seniority"
and it plays a vital part in in
creasing a Congressman's op-
portunity to serve the people in
his district There are at the
present time only ten Members
of the House with greater sen
iority than 1 and it is entirely
probable that in the event oi
my re-election there will be
even fewer at the next Con-
gress. I believe that this exper-
ience or "seniority" is valuable
to the people of Central Texas.
If I am privileged to serve
you in the future I shall as I
have in the past try to judge
each issue and each vote as I
see the interests of my .country
my State and the people of the
great district I represent.
I am therefore today an-
nouncing my candidacy for re-
election subject to the action of
the Democratic Primary and I
am filing the statutory appli-
cations in each of the eleven
counties of tho district as cre-
ated by the Legislature of Tex-
as. Naturally like every other
candidate I would hope to make
this race unopposed. Our pri-
macy camnaiirn comesvntra time
-when it is important' for our
'Representatives to be working
at oiner tilings out anouiu x
have an opponent I shall expect
to spend as much time as poss-
ible in the District and to dis-
cuss any issues frankly and
openly. I .will-need and I invite
the' active cooperation and work
of my friends through out all
parts of the district. In the
meantime I sincerely solicit
your favorable consideration
arid your vote for my re-election.
