 NATIONAL RESERVES

Washington, March 7.-Acknowledg- ment was made today that the House agricultural committee knew practical ly nothing of the public demand and was dependent almost entirely on the chief forester for information on which to base agricultural appropriations. The confession was forced during debate in in the agricultural appropriation bill.

These national forests cover an area as great as New England, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Ohio. Virginia and West Vir~ ginia, and it would be impossible for this committee to investigate person. ally this vast tract We have to take the word of experts of the forest serv- ice as a basis for appropriations"

Clarkson Speaks

E. l.. Clarkson, campaign manager for MT Hobson, stated that 1t took nerve to go up against Brandon in joint discus sion, but that the facts and the truth were on Hobsons side and that a baby could state them He characterized Sen ator Moody as a nice conscientious old gentleman who had 'been taken up on the mountain by politicians and tempted" !" MT. Clarkson stated that from two years observation of MT. Hobson while in Wash ington that no congressman was more faithful in his attention to his duties and in looking after the interest of his con- stituents. He said that Hobson favored the issues that were for the interest of the masses, such as the income tax, re- duction of the tariff and all bills to aid the farmers.
 He explained that on the occasions when Captain Hobson was not voting on im- , portant measures that he was paired with a republican. He characterized Fitz- gerald as the democrat who had led the republicans in their efforts to keep Can non in his seat and power. He stated that the opponents of Captain Hobson should be more specific in their charges and not deal in generalities. He said . the present campaign should be decided on issues and not on little questions such as absence from roll calls, Mir. Clarkson stated that Senator Moodys record on the regulation Of railroad rates and other progressive measures was out of line with the people of this district. He said that Senator Moody was so slow in his deliberation that measures would pass the House and Senate and be signed by the President Before he made up his mind as to how he would vote He read a letter from MT. Moody's brother-in- law in which he stated that he was op- posed to the candidacy of the Tusca- Ioosa man. He said that the only con- structive legislation that Senator Moody
