naturally have been my first choice
as he is not only a clean pure
man but able, only his election
placed me in a somewhat equivocal
position with the other party,
which I very much regret. There
are several friends of mine in California
who would make good Senators
& I would like to see them
have the place if they desire it;
but I know of no one of my
friends who care for it & I do feel
that the best interests of the State
would call for the election of Mr.
Sargent and I would like very much
personally to see him elected, not
only because I like the man,
but because he would ably
represent the State and I feel that
in this way justice will be done | Untitled Page 3nothing against it, because he would
