My service here has been teo brief to indicate the character and quality of the service I am competent of rendering.

If I am endorsed by the convention and elected by the people, I shall do my very best to serve the district and the state to the very best of my ability. I shall abide by the will of the convention in all matters, and will lend to each..and every candidate my fullest influence and support. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS HALL. ts a2,
