With the passage of the District 
Primary Aat last year, all the old

volunteer committees in their vari- 
ous districts. The new committee 
which is to conduct Congressman 
Gardner’s campaign will be com- 
posed of one representative from 
each city and town in the district to- 
gether with an executive committee 
of nine members at large, with a 
chairman, secretary and treasurer. 
The officers and executive com- 
mittee of the new Republican Con- 
gressional Committee in this dis- 
trict as announced today are as fol- 
lows: 
Chairman, Representative Her- 
man A. MacDonald of Beverly; sec- 
retary, Charles O. Dugan of Salem; 
treasurer, Hon. Alden P. White of 
Salem. 
Executive Committee—Frank B. 
Babeoek of Haverhill; Representa- 
tive J. Eugene Fowle of Newbury- 
port; W. W. Lufkin of Essex; Re- 
presentative Chauncey Pepin of 
Salem; Richard W. Freeman of 
Gloucester; Ernest Ingersoll of 
Danvers. 
Of the working committee, the 
lowing sub-committees have been an- 
nounced :

ditures, Hon. Alden P. White of 
Salem, chairman.

In connection with this announce- 
ment, the following correspondence 
between Congressman Gardner and 
Mr. White, with regard to the lat- 
ter’s selection as Treasurer of the 
Committee, is given out: 
Hamilton, Mass., Sept. 4, 1912. 
My dear Judge: 
In my campaign for re-election to 
Congress from the Sixth Massachu- 
setts District, I insist that there shall 
be no expenditure of money, direct- 
ly or indirectly, outside of the strict 
limitations of the law. 
To aid me in the faithful execu- 
tion of this purpose, I ask you to act 
as Treasurer of my committee, re- 
ceiving all contributions and paying 
legitimate expenses by check, and 
only by check. 1 am frankly seeking 
to use your reputation and standing 
as a guarantee of clean politics, and 
I trust that you may find it some- 
what in the nature of a public duty 
as well as a personal kindness to 
respond favorably. 
It is understood, of course, that 
“‘personal expenses’’ as defined by 
Chapter 560 of the Acts of 1907 will 
be paid by me and a proper return 
made according to law. 
Sincerely yours, 
(Signed) A. P. Gardner. 
Hon. Alden P. White, 
Salem, Mass. 
Salem, Mass., Sept. 6, 1912. 
Hon. A. P. Gardner, 
Hamilton, Massachusetts. 
My dear Sir: 
I acknowledge your letter of yes- 
terday asking me to act as treasurer 
of your campaign committee. I ap- 
preciate its spirit and the compliment 
of your confidence. 
However much I would prefer 
that the responsibility would rest on 
other shoulders I feel bound to ac- 
cept your invitation. 
Your intentions will be 
out to the letter. Not a dollar will 
be expended except for expenses 
strictly within the law, by checks, 
which will be preserved as vouchers 
and open to inspection. 
Very truly yours, 
(Signed) Alden P. White

well near completed. Semons &

contract calling for grading, build- 
ing walks and roadways, which are — 
to be of concrete construction, the 
laying out and construction of beds © 
for flowers and shrubbery, and pits — 
for shade trees. The extent of the 
work to be done this fall will in- © 
elude about all of the improved 
area.
