Vote For
Richard E. Lee
Republican Candidate
for
House of Representatives
At The
Primary Election, April 29th
You, the taxpayers of the Second
Division, are vitally interested in
having your tax dollars put to their
most effective use by our govern
ment.
You, as voters, are also interested
in obtaining people representing you
at the Territorial Legislature who are
QUALIFIED to work and fight for
your individual interests. I want to
see the Second Division given its
proportionate amount of tax monies
rightfully due it for the constructive
development of the economy of our
country.
In the 37 years I have lived in the
Second Division and during the 17
years I have been actively engaged
in mining as manager of Lee Broth
ers Dredging Co., I have acquired a
knowledge and understanding of the
needs of our country and our people
which, in my opinion, qualifies me
completely to assume the responsi
bilities of good legislation and legis
lative procedure.
When you go to the polls on
April 29th ask for the Repub
lican ballot, the "Eisenhower
Party" ballot; and please re
member, your vote for me for
representative will be appreci
ated. Thank you.
