5 S. WHITELEY'S INSURANCE AGENCY POST OFFICE BUILDING. TELEPHONE 168. Racine, Wis.,.......188

Mr. Whiteley you must remember was a newspaper man in his younger manhood; of the best of habits- extensive reading- and a man of strong convictions. He is a Republican because he could not help it- and would not if he could. and although a Temperance Man and a Methodist is as far from being a Third party prohibitionist as Senator Miller of New York. He is not likely, if appointed, to desire to make a very prolonged stay abroad- and it will be many years before he will be placed on the political retired list among the "has beens". But I must close- although I could add very much which would interest you. I have thought that you would be glad to send this document to our Senators- with your earnest recommendation- but if for reasons you must decline- will you not kindly return it to me by mail. Very truly yours.
