DOMINION ELECTIONS
To the Electors of the County of Welland:
[Welland Tribune, 22 July 1904]
Gentlemen-Some months ago I stated in the press that I was a candidate for the House of Commons for the County of Welland, and that if either of the two political parties would nominate a farmer as its candidate I would retire in his favor, but as neither party has done so I now beg to announce that I am in the field as a candidate as your representative, and, as an Independent Conservative and a farmer, I appeal to you for your support and influence. I believe all reasonable men feel that the farmers are entitled to a larger representation in the House of Commons than they now have, as the welfare of the Dominion of Canada depends largely upon the prosperity of the agricultural community.
Should you elect me as your representative I will endeavor to faithfully discharge the duty entrusted to me and I will support all motions which I believe to be in the best interests of the Dominion of Canada, irrespective of which party introduces them.
Respectfully Yours,
WALTER UPPER
