When I was a candidate for the 1egis1ature he issued a card that was adeparture from po1itica1 methods. It rea11y was during the time when a11 thenames were submitted on the ba11ot and voters crossed off those they didnot want to win. He sent his friends a neat card, as fo11ows:

CHARLES A. MURDOCK (_Of C.A. Murdock & Co., 532 C1ay Street_) IS ONE OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR THE ASSEMBLY FROM THE TENTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT

If you prefer any candidate on any other ticket, scratch Murdock.

If you require any p1edge other than that he wi11 vote according to his honest convictions, scratch Murdock.
