DOUGHERTY 646 North Thirty-Third Street East St. Louis, Illinois April 7,1950 Democratic Voten, Madison St. Clear Counties, State of Illinois. Dear Friends: In defense of the truth, I am compelled to lake this means of counteracting the misleading accounts that have been appearing in the newspapers oi this area, In their enthusiasm to defeat my candidacy for reelection as Slate Central Committeeman for the Democratic Par(y, they have continued to imply by false and innuendo that my criticism concerning patronage in this district also applies to Governor Stevenson and the program that is striving so earnestly to accomplish for the benefit of the people of our great state.

I want Jo make it unmistakably clear that as a member of the Slate Committee thai selected Adlai Slevenson, fell lhat he was a man of high ideals and outstanding integrity. It was my opinion, and that of the entire committee, lhat Adlai Stevenson was Iruly the man to lead the Democratic Parly in sweeping the nefarious incumbents from the high office that the people had entrusted to their care. I am still of the same opinion today. I am one hundred per cent behind Governor Slevenson in his efforts to give the good people of Illinois an honest, businesslike adminis- (ration. In the last session of Ihe legislature, I gave willingly of my time and counsel in an elfort to assist him in fulfilling his promise to the people.

I feel thai after many years, we can point with genuine pride lo our State Capilol and to the man that occupies the Gov. ernor's chair. Notwithstanding anything lhat you may hear to the contrary, I am proud of the record of Governor Stevenson and of his devotion to a oi value which the body and of integrity, Rest assured thai at your duly elected Democratic Pqrty Leader, I will continue to support his policies of accomplishmtnt, relying most sinctrtly on the fundamental doctrint that, "Good Government is Good Politics" Sincerely yours, Leo J.
