May I please use this method
to offer my congratulations to
. dinners In the election
held November 6, 1962.
I wish to thank the people
who stgiported me and to
remind them that Dr. Hoover
and myself had a platform
almost Identical, and I wish
* offer any assistance 1 may
render to Dr. Hoover In car
JT^ng ?"t this program for a
Progressive Cherokee
County."
I also wish to enter a pro
test to the people who were
responsible for having the bal
lots printed in such a confus
ing manner. Poll watchers tell
me that a large number of peo
ple had to be helped In marking
their ballots. They were so
confusing that two achool
teachers had to be helped to
mark their ballots.
Next time an election is
held In Cherokee County,
please have the ballots print
ed so each and every person
can understand how to voe
