"You have no doubt been swamp-
ed with congratulations over your j
Stupendous and matchless victory I
over the most powerful political

my mite of praise to you as the au
thor of the most important piece or
legislation accomplished in this
generation.
. "Your name will go down in his
tory as the first victorious cham
pion of national legislation against
thegreatest enemy of the human
race. The next great issue to be de
cided by the American people is the
annihilation of the great curse which
threatens the very foundation of
good government.
"The next national convention or
the great Democratic party will be
forced to mt this issue, and you
might as well begin grooming your
self for the fight, pinee you are the
logical leader with which we can
win.
"Put me down as the original
Webb man. I am already negotiat
ing a transfer to your district in an
ticipation of becoming a resident of
the hom district of the ftatesmat
who has accomplished more for his
people than any of his o!ieazne!,
and, who is destined to become the
fntnre president of the co m'ry he
has alreadv served ro magnificently.
"You have no conception of how
famous you have become all over
this great country. Yonr victory
gainst ucb very formidable ene
mies, la -regarded as one of the
irreatest achievements of modern
times,
"As the father of four boys al

which had continued during two
weeks at Wesley Memorial churc h.

morable in the history of the church,
and the closing scene, while a large

Till We Meet Again," will not soon
be forgotten.
"As a result of the revival, over a
hundred additions have been made

TO THE CITIZEN'S AND VOTERS OP TIIE CITY OF GASTONIA:
AYe, the undersigned Mayor and Hoard of Aldermen of the City of
Gastonia, hereby respectfully announce ourscles for re-elcctlon, subject
to your will, at the coming municipal election to be held on the first Mon
day in May, 1013. f
AVe are deeply appreciative of the helpful and generous support that
you have unreservedly accorded us at all times in the past, unci the en
couragement and co-operation you huve given to us in currying forward
measures that hare meant progress and uplift to our community an;
common interest. We have endeavorrd to administer the affairs of the
City faithfully, impartially and wisely, with the single view or rendering
to the general public the most efficient service with the miiiitmiii cosr.x
We realize that we have not measured up in the service to the high
standard that we ourselves set and desired in your behalf to attain. Hut
it is just to ourselves to say that we have reasonably achieved all that
could have been done under the system of municipal government in vo
gue for years and for which we were in no way resHnsillei and the
limited finances at our command when compared with the vast needs of
a large and undeveloped territory-
Fnlly acquainted, as we believe we are, with the needs of the City
respecting development, extension and improvement of our sewerage,
lights and water system; the streets and highways of the City, and our
public schools, with their ever growing demands, we have for more than
a year planned to provide the needed development, and with yojir .ready
and cheerful co-operation petitioned the General Assembly for the power
to make these things possible. The power was granted, and we are now
in a position to make certain these developments, extensions and im
provements in accordance with what we believe are matured plans, most
effective for the present and future public needs.
Under the present charter we saw best in behalf of the public inter
ests to have authority granted to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen io ap
point a superintendent of public highways, capable and efficient man
acting under a committee of three from the Board of Aldermen, as the
superintendent of water and UghK etc., is now acting, to devote his en
tile time to street and highway construction and maintenance. If it Is
yom will to again entrust us with office we expect to inaugurate this sct
vice in good faith with the beginning- the new administration.
We believe that we are in a position to give you a larger, freer, and
more efficient service in the future than In the past, and that we are in
a position by reason of our experiences and our familiarity with condl
tions, and for the further reason or having matured ,ilais after long deli,
beratlon for hi; expenditure of thi money appropriated and to be appro
priated for the purioscg mentioned, to spend the ame wisely, economi
cally and with rhe greatest efficiency. '
By reason-of the 'act that a Municipal Court has been established
for the City of Gastonia the duties of the Mayor have been reduced, so
that it is the Judgment of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen that the
Mayor's salary for the next administrative term shoulj net exceed $."Oo
per annnm.
We respectfully request that yon extend to us your hearty support
as in the past, and we will faithfully endeavor to give you an economical
administration, and one of pogress for our City and general satisfaction
to our "citizens. - -
Very respect fully yours,
