To The Voters of Madison County. ' y
(Ladies And Gentlemen:) '
Feeling that it is going to be almost impossible for me to get all over the County and see each and
every voter and talk to you personally regarding Vny race for representative, as I would like to do:
have adopted this method of saying a few words to you in case I do not get around to your place be
fore the primary. ' ; I. ' -i '
I have entered the race to represent you in the next Legklature because I want the job, not for the
money it pays but the Honor thereto attached, because as a young man it would mean something to
me in the coming years to have represented the Grand Old County of Madison in the General As
sembly, Having had training at Mars Hill College and the 'University of North Carolina, I feel that I
have the ability to fill this position and can ably represent you and succeed in having some safe, sane
and economical laws enacted. I feel that the people of our County are overburdened with taxes, and
it would be my first thought if sent to the Legislature to find some way if possible to give our people
some relief froin their now excessive tax. If this cannot be done, I can look you honestly, , fairly and
squarely in the eye and tell you if you send me to the Legislature, there will be no laws enacted for
the next two years that will INCREASE YOUR TAXES ONE CENT. There will be no four thou
sand dollar offices created, NO ROAD BOARDS, etc., and no more Bond Issues without the vote of
people. I am a good road advocate, a believer in good schools, and with this I kindly believe in pay
ing some of our bills as we go along. Economy is the foundation of all good government
It has been circulated by some of my opponents that if I were elected I would cut part of the Coun
ty off to Buncombe. Now this,is a falsehood without foundation and something that I had never even
thought of. . This has come up before the Legislature in past years and met DEFEAT as it DESERVED
and if it should ever come up again, which I am sure it will not, I would fight it to the last ditch. I
love my County, I love and admire the clean, pure blooded Anglo-Saxon type that comprise her popu
lation and I shall ever be fighting to help them grow stronger and greater and would be the last to think
of dimishing her boundaries. v. '-.," :
My opponents are my friends, and I do not intend to be drawn into any mud-slinging campaign.
Mr. JohnA. Handricks and Mr. Romalus A. Edwards have ther Advantage or Disadvantage (You decide
this) of a wider acquaintance in the County than I, because they have both served you. Mr. Hendricks
represented you in the Legislature two years ago and Mr, Edwards was your County Commissioner
ten years ago. Voters, you know their record; in fact there is part of it you can't forget I quote Mr.
Hendricks "By their fruits Ye shall know them." ; ' s; : . (
s.:--Thaitkingjrou for. any support you may give me in Itcoming Prirnary and assuriiig you if nbmi- '
hated and elected. I will be the Representative of all the pedple, uninfluenced by any person or faction,
arid will sponsor no law that would not be to the best interest of the whole County.
I am, 1
