Dear Brother Phi Psi:

Allen Bureh, Kansas alpha $14, more familiarly
known to his brothers in the fraternity as "Doc" Burch, is a
candidate for nomination to the Supreme Court of Kansas,

I am pleased to recommend Allen Burch to you for
two reasons. He has been a good Phi Psi for thirty years and
it would be a distinct honor to the fraternity to have a
member of Phi Kappa Psi on the Supreme Court of Kansas. As
a fellow attorney practicing in Doc's home town, I am acquaint-
ed with his legal ability and background and I know he is
the caliber of man we need on our Supreme Court.

Allen Burch is a graduate of our own University
of Kansas Law School. He has practiced in the state and
Federal Courts for twenty-seven years, and would bring to the
Supreme Court a working knowlédge of law and justice.

If you are a Republican, I solicit your active

support for the candidacy of our Brother Phi Psi at the primary

election August lst. If you arentt a Republican, I hope you
will support Brother Allen Burch at the general election,
provided he secures the nomination to the Supreme Court at
the Republican primary.

Sincerely and aa

Mlacee C, Hook
