failed til exjiress himselt with energy wliPiipv.v a matter that conccius his district, or the jicnjile at large was directly involved.
He is a man who has not hesitated to make a Jireoeileut, broad minded enongh to think and snlBcieutly liberal minded to ajcord to every man be he black or white,the fullest uieas- ure of citizenship and gives both his time aud talent whenever his services are required iu cad of i' I umbKfit of nis constitneiis.
There is no apparent r asm why Mr. Wangol" should Tio ppo-SHd, for tho sjileiidid record ho iias mudOi during his term of 17 years as congressman from the Eighth district is his best aud highest recommeudatiou aud wo cannot believe that the voters of iJncks and Montgomeiy counties de¬ sire auy aud, still no effort should bo relaxed to eiuphasizo approval of his record aud confidence for the future.
