been loyal to every righteous
cause in his community.
Congressman’s Durham’s friends
commend him to the public for
ltd. honest consideration at the
polls, SaturdbV, May 26. They
commend him as a Democrat, a
man of keen conscientious prin

ity, having an exceptional capf»
city for insight into the problems
of government; courageous and
kind with an unimpeachable
character.
Cvirl T, Durham knows the
problems of the hard pressed
farmer, for his hands have been
hardened with the toil of a son
of the soil. His experience in

the laborer’s viewpoint of life

phases oi business activities. His

contradiction his effectiveness as
11 servaivs of the people. (Adv.)
