When I was a candidate for the legislature he issued a card that was adeparture from political methods. It was during the time when all thenames were submitted on the ballot and voters crossed off those they didnot want to win. He sent his friends a neat card, as follows:

CHARLES A. MURD0CK (_0f C.A. Murdock & Co., 532 Clay Street_) IS 0NE 0F THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES F0R THE ASSEMBLY FR0M THE TENTH SENAT0RIAL DISTRICT

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

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