“K.M Candidates Speak" was of deep mterest indeed.
Tbe Heraid is to be greatly ccenmended for iu foresighi and in-depth

cnizeas g.'eatlv desired to be answered as to their personal viewpoints
and opinions.
The Heraid did an excellent and a superb yob of permitting tbe can
didates to express themselves.
This is ind^ a health) attitude.
May 1 again express my sincere apjs’eaaiion for your many acts trf
kindness toward me within the past, (rf which has been a tremendous

I shall be greath indebted to the Herald andl shall always covet
your deep interest and concern, as your coocem has given me a

May 1 remain yours, a friend.
