Whilo very few Republicans felt that thoro was any race on and there was a small vote, and whllo Mr. SIppIe spent a very large sum of money, yot I received nearly three times as many voles as Mr. Sipplo and more than ten times as many votos as Mr Soavey. In 1920 I received all the votes cast for Congress In two precincts. This year I received all tho votM cast In seventeen precincts.

So thoroly convinced were the Republicans that there was no necosslty to make a fight this year that In many Republican precincts no election at all was held. I feel that practically every Re publican would have been at the polls If ho had thought It necessary It looks now as If I shall bo the Chairman of a Committee in the next Congress. I think this is the first time this honor has come to the 11th District. It Is my earnest desire that I may be of more effective service to the people of our District in the next two years than I have In tho past. I want to help our, people In every way I can.

Thanking my friends ngaln for their splendid help and loyal support, I remain Sincerely, J. M. ROBSION. WALKER-KING Tho marriage of Mr. Earl King and Miss Hester Lillian Walker was solemnized at tho Southern Methodist 'parsonage, Mlddlesboro, Saturday Decoraber 2nd.
