May I enter your living room for a little chat Mr. & Mrs. Voter? I am an independent candidate for Township Supervisor on the Voters Ticket. Herewith is a resume of a letter which I recently mailed to precinct committeemen of both major parties. I submit this copy of the letter for your personal reading, so there will be no doubt or confusion as to my methods. Rather than invade the privacy of your homes, in future messages to you through the media of local newspapers, I will discuss the reasons for my candidacy, my platform and what I hope to accomplish for all of ut of the Township if elected. May I call again at a later date? Gentlemen: Rather than impose on eactfof you individually and consume your valuable time with a personal visit, I am using this method to contact every McHenry Township committeeman, regardless of party affiliations. In filing my nominating petitions for supervisor, I cannot help but feel that this office should transcend national politics, simply because it affects us all directly, both as residents and taxpayers of a small area. In short I think the man to be considered is of paramount importance, rather than whether he be Democrat or Republican. I am cognizant of the fact that you good people have considerable influence and prestige in your particular areas, and undoubtedly are alert to the needs of your friends and neighbors. I have no aspirations for future office in the county or state, I simply wish to serve my own community to the best of my ability. Many of you are known to me personally, however to those unknown may I give a thumbnail description of myself. A Chicago born resident, 25 years in our township, 53 years young, married and father of four children, now residing on a farm on State highway 120. . I am in a position whereby I can devote a major share of my time to the execution and performance of the duties required by such an office. For obvious reason, this letter is being typed in form styling, but I will be happy to contact each and everyone of you personally in the future. I have made no commitments, promises or "backroom" deals and will make none in the foreseeable future. The decision to run for office was mine alone, and I intend to tackle the job with a open mind, energy, drive and humility. May I have your consideration? Respectfully, Bernard J.
