Richmond August 21, 1911
Dear Sir,
At a large and representative convention held in the town of Richmond on the 18th day of this month, I was, by unanimous vote, selected as the Conservative Candidate for the Parliamentary Division of Richmond Wolfe.
The honor is a great one, and if elected, I will do my utmost to truly represent the views of my constituents.
On the two great questions of the day, Reciprocity and the Navy my views are these: I am opposed to the Taft Fielding Reciprocity Pact for reasons which I will explain from the platform: as to the question of the Navy I am in favor of having this matter decided by the direct vote of the people.
During the campaign I shall endeavor to visit all the parts of the two counties. The time is short and some localities may be overlooked, but I hope to have an opportunity of laying my views before you in meetings, the dates of which will be shortly announced.
If after having listened to our side of the case, you will favor me with your support.
I will be grateful.
Sincerely yours
John Hayes MD (Stamped)
