The Y. W. C. A. assisted 3,600 war brides in coming to the United States from Europe,

they got back, and we feel sure that most all of them will make good wives.

I was born and raised in Morgan County and have always supported the Republican Party. I am a poor man and need the office, and having made the race two years ago and was defeated, I feel now that I am entitled to the office this time.
Respectfully,
W. M. Holder
