Why Mercer Should Be Elected to
Congress from the Third District

Congress. llc lOOha ~
time when the Interests shall not te
able to put their handsinto the peo-
pie 'streasury and grab gree Oily what
they want. He looks to tie time
when the government shall, by the
right kind Of encouragement, tram
ing and stimulus, see to it that the
great agricultural classes shall have
their due and their opportunity.
You are right, brother, when you
say that we need good farmers. We
need them more than we need any
other classes of developers. But we
are never going to get them unless
the government lays a firm and
steady hand on the abuses that have
feeced the farming classes OF their
rights. We shall never have the
general turning to agriculture as q
life-work that the resources OF our
country demand until the law-mak-
ing bodies see to it that there is the
proper protection, legislation and
encouragement for the farmer.
Farmer Mercer does not claim su-
perior merit over his opponents. He
lis a modest man, and is perfectly
willing to have his record speak for
him. Neither does he decry his OPP
ponents. But he does claim that be
knows thoroughly the needs and the
interests Of the people Of the Third
district. He is familiar with the
conditions existing in this splendid
block Of agricultural and business
territory. If he is elected he will do
all in his power to promote and fur
Their these interests.
Mr.. Mercer does not believe that
the agricultural classes of this coun-
try have had fair and equitable re-
cognition in the apportionment Of
congressional honors. The records
show that there is only one farmer
from Georgia in Congress Hon.
Dudley M. Hughes and he has
made coon. 1t is not that Mr.. Mer-
Ger thinks there are too many farm
ers in Congress, but too few farmers.
He does not ask for the votes Of the
people Just because he is a farmer.
He does not expect to be elected
just on that ground. Far from it.
He asks the privilege and seeks the
honor of representing the Ord dis
trict for the good that he can do in
securing for his constituency the
legislation and recognition that are
its due.
There are those who cannot think
of the farmer as a type Of the wide
awake, thinking American. They
still look for hayseed in his hair,
and expect him to blow out the gas.
They are behind the times, these
would be critics. They haven t kept
up with the facts. They don tseem
to know that while he has been
blowing he has been thinking. While
he has been filling the broad acres
he has been subsoiling his mind, and
ready for the reception Of
dynamic ideas.
This is the type Of farmer Mr..
Mercer represents. He is man Of
unimpeachable integrity, and his
devotion to the cause committed to
his keeping would be Of a kind to
stand the heaviest tests.
Mr.. Mercer viii be an honor to
the 3rd district, and a vote for him
a vote for the right man.

q Georgia seems to be botherlng
some ;, & the editors. One q the
bretben has recently come forward
n,;th ! large-sized piece Of writing -
which. BY a lack-logic process Of
Animation, he proceeds to show
that there is only one logical can
didate in the race, and that IS
well, not Mr.. Mercer.
He says that Mr.. MERGERS prln-
c;nal argument why he should be
elected Is the fact that he isa farmer.
and a good one. +" Then he pro
ceeds to hand out quite a tidy little
bunch Of advice to Mr.. Mercer ana
the folks in general. He says:
Ellis calling (farming) i3an
honorable one, and perhaps the
most important in the whole
wide world. Mr.. Mercer seems
TO think that there are too many
LAWYERS in Congress already.
Perhaps SO. There are also too
many lawyers runninf farms
folks call 'em near farmers.
We venture to say that more
good farmers have been spoiled
BY being drawn into more at
tractiye pursuits than men OF
all other callings. That is one
great trouble with the agricuIt-
ural conditions throughout the
nation today; good farmers are
too few. Mr.. Mercer should
continue in his chosen vocation, .
in which he has met with SO
much success, and by practical
example lead his neighbors to
a higher standard Of farm mani
pulation.'
You are right Mr.. Editor. Good
farmers are too few. That's what
Mr.. Mercer thinks. And you need
not worry about Mr.. Mercer not
sticking to farming. One OF his
cherished aims and most definite
plans is to continue to demonstrate
to his community that farming
rightly carried on lis not only bene-
ticenee to the farmer himself, but a
source of economic salvation to the
country in general. Mr.. Mercer does
not propose to throw away q life
time OF hard-won experience in
which he has proved that the safe
and sane sort Of farming is a paying
proposition from every point OF view.
If he goes to Congress, and he
hopes to do, he will go with the fixed
idea Of devoting his time and ener-
gies to just the very thing that our
friend suggests namely, the adj
of the interests of farm
ing people generally, and those OF
the Third district in particular.
Mr.. Mercer has been a construe-
tive worker, and he has literally
passed on his ideas to his neighbors.
He has labored both by precept and
example to better the quality Of the
achievements of his
commuRity. There's no reason why
he should stop being a farmer. He
doesn t want to quit. He loves the
soil and the pleasant fruits Of his
labor. He is not the kind of man
who, to literalize familiar meta
phor, having put his hand to the
pillow wants to look back.
Look back? Not at all. Mr..
MERGERS idea is to look forward

LABOR TAKES A FALL OUT
OF WILLIE HEARST

styled friend of labor, and bene-
factor of the working class, was
kicked between the woodshed
and the kitchen, fguratively, by
the Chicago Federation of Labor
at its meeting yesterday, and in.
plain words was told what union
labor thought of him.
The feeling expressed in the
resolution of condemnation
adopted is not new to the local
federation. Six months ago
boycott of the Hearst publica-
tions was advocated, but the
American. Federation of Labor
was collecting evidence upon
which it is planned to place the
entire chain of Hearst papers on
the unfair list, and the matter
was not pushed.
Yesterdays resolution, which
was written by President John
Fitzpatrick, was adopted by a
vote of 20 to 81. Those not ia
voring the castigation of Hearst
were mostly members of the ty-
geographical union, who said he
was the largest individual en-
ploye of union printers in the
country.
The resolution cites -Hearst's
reversible" attitude toward the
labor movement, and says that
t.to satisfy the all-consuming no
ton that he is a great statesman
William Randolph Hearst set out
to control the labor movement of
the country so that he might use

it for his political aggrandize-
ment.
"After several years Hearst
had an awakening. He learned
that labor unions could not be
bought, or controlled, and that it
was impossible for politicians to
use them for partisan purposes,
and that neither his newspapers
nor his gold would avail him in
his efforts to make them deliver
up their votes to him.
..Since this awakening Hearst
has reversed the attitude of his
papers toward the labor move
ment, and for the last few years
his chain of newspapers has tenn
ed with the most maliciously vic
ious lies, distorted facts, innuen-
do of the most scurrilous type,
against labor unions.
The resolution will be circu-
lated throughout American labor
union circles.
