DescriptionLetter and envelope addressed to Dorothy Dixon from her father, CA Dixon. Dated 10/14/1937. The letter discusses John E. Miller's small chance of taking Randolph County from Governor Bailey. Letter is typed on stationary from The Farmer's Credit Company.

Dorothy,
Have not heard from you this week and don't know whether to expect you Saturday night or not. But I thought that you might not be able to get away just on the eve of the election. But if you do not get to come and stay over Monday so you can vote, you should have an absentee ballot.
Mr. Fred Donham, prosecuting attorney of Pulaski County, will speak here Saturday evening in the interest of Governor Bailey. The situation does not look so good here in Randolph. They are making a hard effort to carry the county for Miller, but if he carries it his majority is going to be very small. It does look like that Miller may carry the county, though it is the Miller men who are doing all the talking, just as it was the Roy Richardson supporters who did all the talking in the last congressional election and it looked like Richardson was going to carry the county but when the votes were counted he was defeated by about 500 votes, and it may work out the same way this time. That is the side that is making such a loud noise may be defeated when the votes are counted, because I know a lot of men are going to vote for Mr. Bailey who have not said anything about it.
Gene Thompson is always on the contrairy side and I think he is supporting Miller. You might write him a letter and tell him a few things and John Henry Jackson also. Of course John Henry tried to get a job and failed and it might not do any good to write Gene. He can't change any votes and he is always lined up on the losing side. So we might as well let him lose again.
We got home Sunday night about 9 o'clock and without having any trouble.
Your Dad,
C.A. Dixon
