Congressman Reeder> went down to
Topeka the other day. Here is what
he said says the BelOit Gazette:
Northwest Kansas was never IN
a more prosperous condition and every
body has money All values are on
the increase, and the banks are full
of money. "Alfalfa has been the sal
Walton of Northwest Kansas. Every
farmer has a pIece-of alfalfa and it is
wonderful feed for cattle and hogs. 1t
is surprising how extensive the hog
raising industry has become in our
country. We fatten them on alfal a.
and they make more clean money for
the farmers than anything else he has
New people are coming into our coun-
try and the old-timers are buying
more land with the profits of the past
year.
Il will be a candidate for renomi-
nation, and 1 don't think / can be
beaten. understand there are already
two other candidates, but have the
promise OF support which I never had
before, and / feel that / will win
easy. 1t is mistake for a state to
send new congressman to Washington
The longer they remain in congress
the mere useful they become. Fer a
great many years, Maine had the
strongest delegation in the house. 1t
was strong because the representatives
were reelected year after year, and
they had prestige in Washington.
Iowa is another state that reflects
her congressman, and no state has
more influence in national affairs In
my district they have been sending
new men right along. / hope they
will make an exception in my case and
let me stay few years longer 1 feel
that can do them some good, now
that have a gOod start"
