Thanks Voters
To Our Friends:
We wish to adopt this means of ex
pressing our sincere thanks and appre
ciation for the loyal support given us
in Monday's primary election. With no
organization whatever and with so
short a time in which to apprize the
public of our intentions if elected, and
with the well organized and highly ef
ficient political forces we had to op
pose, we lacked only 02 voles of cap
turing control of the city government.
With one of our number elected and
the others defeated by such narrow
margins is highly significant and af
fords ample grounds for congratulations
to all those who worked in our behalf.
Again wc thank you most sincerely.
Respectfully,
W. M. Henry,
J. E. Waters,
W. L. Mull,
M. W. Galloway.
