CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS 
W. W. LuFKIN oF Essex WILL RUN 
IN SpectAL ELECTION. 
To the Voters of the Sixth 
Congressional District: 
I am a candidate for Congress -at 
the special election this autumn to 
succeed ex-Congressman Gardner, 
who has resigned his seat to accept 
an appointment as Colonel in the 
United States Army. 
I am a candidate because I believe 
that I can give to the people of the 
district a quality of service of the 
standard to which they are entitled. 
No standard can be too high for a 
people so rich in historic traditions, 
both in the character of its represen- 
tatives, and in their accomplishments. 
To take up the work laid down by 
ex-Congressman Gardner, and _ to 
maintain the same high standard ot 
efficiency, endeavor and achievement 
is no easy task. That, however, will 
be my earnest aim, and I feel that, 
reinforced by the knowledge gained 
by long years of experience, | shall be 
able to continue in an efficient manner 
the policies so ably begun by Mr. 
Gardner; but which, by reason of his 
summary “call to the colors,” have 
necessarily been left unfinished. 
The duties of a representative to 
his constituency are of a manifold na- 
ture. In the first place, he must ort- 
ginate, support and push to a conclti- 
sion legislation beneficial to the inter- 
ests of his constituents and oppese 
legislation detrimental to them, and 
to the country. Secondly, he must 
act as the personal representative, at 
the nation’s capitol, of every individ- 
ual of his district, without regard to 
political or factional affiliations. 
As a native and life long resident 
of Essex County, always in intimate 
touch with its interests, I feel that I 
know peculiarly and thoroughly the 
policies for which it has stood in the 
past and am familiar with present 
day needs and desires along both 
economic and practical lines. Its en- 
terprises cover the land and the sea. 
Thanks to my priviledged relationship 
with Mr. Gardner, since his first elec- 
tion to Congress, I am conversant 
with both, and I shall endeavor to 
guard them as zealously as he has. 
Outside of legislative activities, the 
duties of a representative are exact- 
ing and intricate. They can be learn- 
ed only through the school of experti- 
ence. This school has been a part 
and parcel of my activties in behalf 
of your district for 15 years. The 
ramifications and perplexities of offi- 
cial and departmental Washington 
are countless, and only a long experi- 
ence and intimate acquaintance with

the methods of cutting official red tape 
can bring prompt results. 
On national lines, I stand first and 
last for all legislation which will tend 
to a speedy and victorious termination 
of the present world war. The pres- 
ent administration must supervise the 
active management of this struggle 
for the supremacy of Democracy. If 
elected, I shall not, for the sake of 
partisan political advantage, be a party 
to any proposition to embarrass Presi- 
dent Wilson in his plans for the con- 
duct of the war. 
I believe that the nation should be 
protected both now and at all times in 
the future by any army and navy that 
will be second to none in fighting eff- 
ciency. With such land and naval 
forces, a repetition of the predicament 
now confronting us will be well nigh 
impossible. 
Moreover, I believe in the adoption 
at the earliest practicable moment of 
a system of universal military train- 
ing, both as-a safeguard for a pre- 
paredness standpoint and to perpetu- 
ate the future Democracy of our na- 
tion. 
This, in brief, is an outline of my 
political and economic creed. From 
time to time, as the campaign pro- 
eresses, I shall present my views on 
other national and international prob- 
lems to the voters of our district. 
In conclusion, “Service” is the 
watchword of the present day, and to 
serve 225,000 people of the Sixth 
Congressional District, individually as 
well as collectively, will be my con- 
stant aim, if I am entrusted with the 
opportunity.
