My Friends, the
?>
Democratie Voters
of Martin County
To you, I wish to try to express my appre
ciation for the vote of confidence which you gave
me on June 4th. I am indeed grateful for the trust
bestowed upon me, and shall put forth every ef
fort to serve you in every way..
If this seems to be an inadequate expres
sion of my gratitude, it is due to the fact that I
am unable to find words to convey my apprecia
tion.
Don E. Johnson
An Appreciation
I desire to express my gratitude tor the splendid
and loyal support given me in the recent primary.
Before deciding to enter the primary 1 sounded
out in a limited way public sentiment and came to the
conclusion there was enough sentiment for a chance to
justify my candidacy. However, the majority of the vot
ers have expressed themselves as favoring the present
incumbent, and I cheerfully concede them the right to
choose their officers.
To all I wish to thank you for your generous man
ner in receiving me and to those loyal friends who sup
ported me without reward or hope of reward.* I am of
course especially indebted.
Sincerely.
H. D. HARDISON

Roosevelt Declares
Epidemics In China
Are Menace to World
Tells of Great Necessity for
Relief in War-Torn
China
Cable reports of the outbreak of
a cholera epidemic in Central Chi-'
na have swelled the number of dis-i
eases now epidemic among Chinese!
civilian refugees to a ghastly total
of six. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
Jr.. national chairjnan of the Unit
ed Council for Civilian Relief in
China, announced this week.
More than 90,000.000 non-comba
tant Chinese, the majority of whom
are women and children, now are
threatened by virulent epidemics of
cholera, typhus, diphtheria, typhoid,
amoebic and bacillic dysentery and
scarlet fever, Colonel Roosevelt
stated.
Quoting late dispatches from
Shanghai and dhe interior received
at the headquarters of the United
Council for Civilian Relief in Chi
na, Colonel Roosevelt painted a picr
ture (if appalling?disaster and
need.
"More than 100.000 permanently
'estitue refugees are encamped in
the Shanghai International Settle
n.ent." he declared. "Across the l iv
er at Nantao is one camp where
45,000 refugees, almost exclusively
women and children, have food on
hand -for less than three weeks. Al
so. the new cholera epidemic has
now spread to Pootung near Shang
hai and wide areas there are vir
tually death houses.
"In addition to the humanitarian
aspects of these conditions, which
are horrifying the civilized world,
there is urgent reason why Ameri
cans' should be interested in helping
to provide the means to control these
epidemics," Colonel Roosevelt de
clared. "There is grave danger that .
the epidemics may spread beyond
the borders of China and constitute
an unprecedented menace to the
health of the world. With our speedy
methods of transportation and the
constant travel between Asia, Amer
ica and the European countries,
there is the ever present possibility
that an epidemic starting in one
portion of the globe may spread to
other places thousands of miles dis
tant. Therefore, no matter' how
much' we may be stirred by the hu
manitarian ?of .the Chinese 1

Civilian population, we nave also a!
personal interest in the control of
these epidemics," he pointed out.
Colonel Roosevelt urged Ameri
cans everywhere to aid the cause of
humanity by attending one-of the
Bowl of Rice parties to be held on
June 17 on behalf of the destitute
Chinese non-combatants. The Unit
ed Council is sponsoring more than
2.000 of these parties. Funds thus
raised will be allocated to accredit
ed relief agencies in China by the
American Advisory Committee, in
consultation with Madame Chiang
Kai-shek, Colonel Ituusevelt added.
The American Advisory committee
is an internationally famous group
composed of nine prominent Amer
icans now residing in China, he said.
An Appreciation
It is with much linearity that I express my
great appreciation for the vote accorded my can
didacy for the Democratic nomination as the
Martin County member'of the House of Repre
sentatives in the primary last Saturday. The ex
pression of confidence evidenced by the good
people of our county will long be remembered
by me. and it is my trustful pledge that I will
do everything in my power to serve the people
in an efficient manner, and to the very best in
terests of everyone.
Following an announcement of my individ
ual position some time back in which I indicat
ed that I did not intend to run for the position
this time, a number of petitions carrying the
names of several hundred voters In the County
were placed before me urging that 1 reconsider
and announce my candidacy. The office belong
ed to the people of Martin County who I had
served, and I was advised that these voters felt
that it was my duty to run; that I was in a bet
ter position now than ever to render to the -
county and state a public service. It hss always
been my policy to abide by the wishes of the
people, and to do their biddings as ably as I
know how as a public servant, with a keen de
sire at all times to represent the majority, and
remain aware of the rights of the minority. I
did not know what to do. at flrgt I conferred
with many of my friends and public officials,
and after a careful consideration of the peti
tions. letters, conferences and telephone re
quests. and after many sleepless night. I felt it
my duty to re-consider my former action, and
did so. and announced my candidacy and as a
result have been re-nominated to the office
the General Assembly. 1 believe anyone in my
position would have reached the same conclu
sion.
Now, I wish to thank all who supported
me. and to express my appreciation for the
kindness shown me. and to say that I have no
ill will whatever toward anyone who opposed
me. but only wish to serve all the people to the
utmost of my capacity, which I pledge to do.
