LETTERS
Hon. T. J. McDowell,
Member of the Honse of Rep.
Raleigh, N. C.
Dear Sir:
IT reported that you are
opposed to Senator Bacon’s bill to
abolish the absentee ballot in Polk
County. If this report is true, you
are opposing the interests and de
sires of every citizen who wishes
to see clean politics and fair elec
tions.
Our experience shows beyond
doubt that absentee voting is an
evil thing; it encourages crooked
ness, increrr.es expense, leaves a
trail of bad feeling and takes the
result of the elections out of the
hands of the people who live in the
County.
You now have an opportunity to
be of real service to the communit '
and many of us who supported yo 1
in the recent election will be dis
appointed if you discover yourself
to be merely another little politi
cian.
Sincerely yours,
(Bernard Sharp)
