Deep Fork River need a rile help

itics, for the United States Senate.
Referring to your interrogations
concerning the meetings called by
the Board of Directors of our Com-
mercial Club, will say I attended
both of these meeting but noticed
you to be couspiculously absent-
At the last one of these meetings I
made some inquiry for information
concerning the by-laws of our Club.
If this inquiry for information which
I was entitled to, was taken in the
light of one of your “twits” I can
only say I am sorry you could not
differentiate between an inquiry and
a “twit”. So far as your other in-
quiries are concerned they were
J completely answered on a former
occasion.
I If we can get you to cover up that
| horrible misrepresentation with just
little white stripe of trutli we will
feel our efforts have not been in vain,
but that we have succeeded in ad-
I ding one more public spirit to our
! public improvements of the town of!
; Stroud with which my name along
! with others is inseparable, from our
public school buildidg on down
| through our magnificent sidewalks,
, our electric lights, our waterworks
i to the arousing and conversion of
| dormant skunks and even making j
them useful to our beautiful little
1 city.
By the way we are going to build j
1 another new school house in Stroud. |
; Now don't forget your promise to be
j good, and go to knocking by “hol-
lering” high taxes, the people cant
I stand it, be careful how you vote,
I etc, because we are going to build
| the school house and you might just
! as well get in the push and say “yes
j I will lend a helping hand” for you
would stand just as much show to
sure you a long suffering public will
appreciate.
