To the Democratic Patrons of Washington
Postofflce:
As this is the last chance I hare
to ask the good people to give me
their support, and 1 ask one and all
to please attend the primary And
help me. Please don't think I don't
need or want it, for 1 do, and I am
doing everything in my power to win
!t. Therefore, won't you please give
ino your first choice vote. Don't feel
llko If you give me your vote that I
won't apreciate it, for I surely will,
and, therefore, are you not willing to
help a man when he Is trying to help
i himself? This is the first time I
[have ever come boforo mr m*i.
20ns asking their support, and I feel
as If they are going to help me. PerhapB
there may be some voters I
haven't seen; however, if thero
should be one I haven't seen I hope
to see him Monday, December 14th,
it the polls. I have tried to see all
as near as I could, and I am trusting
the balance to you good people to do
your part, which I feel Bure they will.
It is true, which I submit, there are
six candidates, and I am sure they
all want to win this office, for if
they didn't they wouldn't run or ask
for it; but the question is, who is
going to be elected? Some say one
and some say the other. Now, it
is up to you people to say who you
are going to have for your next postmaster,
and if you will let me name
him I shall, of course, name W. M.
Swanner. Will that not suit everybody?
Please come out to the polls
and show the people tl is so. I here
want to state to the patrons that I
am willing to put my entire time to
this office if they will but select or
vote me in. I shall try to serve you
to the best of my ability, trying to
throw credit on myself. Remember
I am a Beaufort county boy, and I
feel as if all of the patrons are going
to help me.
I was raised on the farm; raised to
I the plow-handles; therefore, I have
, worked my way in a wide circle of
friends, and I am proud of it. I
came from Old Ford to Washington
! about five years ago. and engaged In
1 a mercantile business In a email
way. and since that time I have been
t trying to push my business to a buc4
cess, and try to leave the public
5 satisfied as near as possible, dealing
B fair with everybody, which stands
f for Itself. Therefore, friends, will
0 you not go to the primary and give
8 me your first choice vote? If It
h should be so you can't giro me your
r first, then pleaee give me your eecI*
ond. Thanking you In advance,
Yours I am to serve,
W. M. SWANNER.
