County Wicklow Farmers’ Party. Appeal to Electors of the Constituency

We, the undersigned members of the County Executive of Wicklow Farmers’ Party, confidently appeal to the electors of the Constituency of County Wicklow regardless of class, creed or occupation, to support our nominee, Patrick Cogan, Independent Farmer Candidate. He is a very capable and experienced Parliamentarian, and has always taken a leading and effective part in the debates in Dail Eireann, never losing an opportunity to advance the interests of Agriculture, remembering that it is on a prosperous agriculture the whole nation depends. Mr. Cogan’s untiring assistance to his constituents who sought his help was at all times most willingly forthcoming. He has represented the people of the Constituency since 1938. During that period, he never failed to consult our Executive as to the line of action he should take in connection with matters of importance arising in Dail Eireann. We are convinced that Mr. Cogan has proved a worthy and honourable representative of the plain people, and we ask you not to allow yourselves to be influenced by the clever, but false and misleading propaganda emanating from the profession political groups. Give your First Preference Vote To Patrick Cogan and Ensure His Successful Return To Dail Eireann.

Signed on behalf of the County Executive: Eugene J. Byrne, PC, Coolbeg, Wicklow, Chairman; John Dowse, Kilcavan, Carnew, Vice-Chairman; William F. Lynch, Garrymore, Rathdrum, Vice-Chairman; Elizabeth F. Bobbett, MCC, Kilbride, Wicklow; James Hill, Clone, Aughrim, Joint Treasurers; Nicholas O’Toole, PC, Rathduffmore, Hacketstown, Secretary.

Issued by Nicholas P. O’Toole, PC, Rathduffmore, Hacketstown, Election Agent for the Candidate.
