In a speech to the Mount Morris Republican Club, Representative Parsons advocates for his reelection as Chairman of the County Committee. Parsons stresses that he has the support of Governor Higgins and President Roosevelt and that those who oppose him, like Lemuel Ely Quigg, do so because he refuses to be the “tool of selfish interests.”
