To The Voters
Of Hertford . . .
Time hasn t permitted me to see
each voter personally, I would like to
take this opportunity to ask for your
support in the May 4th election for
Mayor of Hertford. If elected your
Mayor, I will serve all the people to
the best of my ability and will give
the high office of Mayor of Hertford,
the time the job requires.
Vote ITI Bill Cox - Mayor
(PAID POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT)
To The Vofers Of
Town Of Hertford .
Dear friends:
As you know four years ago I announced
my candidacy for the office of Mayor for
the Town of Hertford. Through your support
and confidence I achieved this position.
I have worked earnestly to make our
town a better place to live. I hoped that I
could have done more but time is very
short in one term when projects are started
and ideas fall short of time to complete.
I urge all voters of the town of Hertford
to come to the polls and vote next
Tuesday, May 4, and when you mark your
ballot I will sincerely appreciate you
considering me for reelection for
your Mayor..
Sincerely,
Emmett Landing
