DR. ROYAL S. COPELAND 
To the Farmers of New York State:— 
You will be asked to vote for a candidate for the United States Senate. I have 
been nominated for that office. 
In addition to the promises of my party, I pledge myself to serve the cause of the 
farmers, the working man, and every man and woman who must struggle to provide the 
necessities of life. 
My training has fitted me to advise Congress on matters having to do with the 
protection of the United States against the invasion of foreign diseases, against dairy 
and food substitutes, against the imposition of burdensome taxes upon the farmers and 
the working family. 
I shall do all I can to favor a change in the banking laws, permitting the farmer 
to borrow on his crops and for a sufficient time actually to market his products to 
advantage. 
I was born on a farm. I own and operate a farm. My immediate relatives are 
farmers. All these things contribute to my sympathetic knowledge of farm conditions. 
During my term as Health Commissioner it has been my pleasure to increase 
materially the consumption of milk in New York City. When I entered the office it was 
less than two million quarts; now we are using three million quarts daily. I hope to 
see this amount doubled, and shall do my best to accomplish this thing, which is so 
desirable to the health of the metropolis. 
I prohibited the sale of “filled milk” in New York City and, if elected, I will do all 
I can to prohibit its transportation in Inter-state commerce. 
I am for the farmer in everything having to do with his happiness and prosperity. 
I shall appreciate your confidence and your votes. 
Cordially yours, 
ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
