P \ V mA TiTQ * 7 j for the very flattering vote given me A CjO primary election held yester- EXPRESS THANKS day. To get more votes in au elec tion than any other man running is an honor I shall always prize. To friends most true who made this pos sible I shall always feel under last ing obligations. I fee! that this of. flee opens up some new avenues for service to my county, and the only promise I shall make—dhe only promise I made on the campaign—ts to do my very best for my section of the State In whatever rapacity I may. This I expect to do. But, great as is the responsibility of the legislator, the regponslbllity of the citizen is no less great. N<> man can bring about worthy legisla^ tion. nor enact wise laws for govern ing a people, unless he have the peo. pie with him. This is why I appre ciate very much the large number of votes received, for no matter what comes up 1 shall feel that I am legis lating for my friends, and I fee! Just as friendly towards those who voted against me as to those who support ed me. \ . I^t us all think of our problems, and when that meeting Is called for the first Monday in December, com - down with a plan well mapped out for proper laws for the county. Gratefully. W. W. SMOAK.
