The Republicans here are resorting to
the subterfuge that you and Prest Cannon
are going on the stump for Republicanism.
That you are a republican, and are working
upon the sympathies of the doubtful voters and others for them to vote as you desire
them in that line. Now, I would like a
line from you, not as to your political faith,
but as to whether you desire such dis-
picuble hward heelers to resort to such
work in order to gain votes.
An immediate reply will greatly oblige
Your Brother
