Abram Simmons * .. .... 111 jCandidate for Joint Senator % On the Democratic Ticket at the Primary Election March 7, 1916. TO REPRESENT Adams, Blackford and Wells Counties Hon. Frank C. Dailey, former district attorney of Indiana. and former law partner of Abraham Simmons, has addressed the following letter to the voters of the district composed of Adams, Wells and Blackford counties, in which Mr. Simmons is a candidate for joint senator. He says: Fellow Democrats: I have seen legislatures at work and have an idea as to the kind of men needed. I am acquainted with both candidates for the nomination of state senator, and know which is better qualified. With this in view and the further fact that I am one of you, I feel that I can express an opinion to you on this subject without even the suspicion of attempted dictation. The next legislature will reed rong, capable men, and you have just one chance to furnish that sort to the senate. During a partnership of nineteen years, I had the opportunity to know Abe Simmons just as he is. Abe Simmons is a man of unquestioned and unquestionable integrity. He is not only honest as the word is commonly understood, but he is honest mi. ded. II? is self-made and made correctly. From an hur ’•? bcyiraiirg as a farm hand, througn industry and perseve rite he has become a > leading lawyer of the state. Few people know the ob: acles thrown in his way, which he surmounted. Others v.o'dd have become discouraged and quit. I believe I would ha. . . ■ am informed that they are using his success as a dub r ■ him and are saying in opposition to him that sometiA.c., he has been employed in his life work by large concerns. I know it to be true that he has been employed by hu inc of wealth, and I know further that he has been employed b. ; rany persons aj poor as poverty. Like other lawyers', he took what repi able.business came to and was glaii to gel it. ii i: czairely to his credit that be got some clients who could ' him, and make up in pSft for the vast time he has spent v v ’< < e there was no hope of reward. A man can work for concerns, individual or corporate, large or small, as general manager, superintendent, motorman, section hand or lawyer, and be dishonest and mean, or he can work in either capacity and be honest and upright. It all depends upon the man. Abe Simmons plainly belongs to the latter class He gives the bes t be has to his employer, and if you select him as your senator and agent, ho will act with the same fidelity in your behalf you have seen him display when acting for others. * Abe Simmons is clean. He has the intelligence, capacity, experience, and honesty to make your representation the best in the senate. When asked who your senator is, there will be no occasion for apology. Very trulv. _ Adv . ’ FRANK C. DAILEY.
