TO MY FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS:
Of course I want your vote for another term of office. I have been your
Justice of the Peace for over fifteen years... it's been a pleasure to serve you.
I feel that I have been of great service to all who have had business with
me or my office.
There is no doubt that my record will stand up with the tops in the state,
regardless of education or background.
I know that I have never mistreated or abused anyone as a witness, or a
judge. You can find out the facts by inquiring with all honorable people who
have had business dealings with me.
I have never accepted a contribution from anyone as a political gift in con-
nection with my campaigns for office. I am obligated to my fellowman to use
the best ludgement I have, and to be fair and just at all times. Ask, inquire, or
talk to anyone who has ever been before me in court.
I would certainly like to serve you good people another tour years. It is
necessary that I get your vote to accomplish this, and your vote will definitely
be appreciated! As far as I know, I owe no obligations to anyone monetarily.
Just good and true friendship is what I wish for, more than anything else.
Let me thank you in advance, for your past support, and you may be assured
that service will be rendered as in the past.
It seems that my age is my only handicap. Sure, I am 85 years of age, but I am
prove of every year that I have lived They have been wonderful and happy
years. I have gone far beyond the limits expected of me in my office, to help
my less fortunate neighbors, and those who have had problems.
Thanks again and please vote!
£./2,
Your Justice of the Peace
