You sent to Washington to serve people of the Second Congressional District o1 sas not the other members of Congress- Your recoro shows that you have always been willing to help the mem bers from get the needed legislation or tne constituents but YOU HAVE FAILED TO REMENbEH THE PEOPLE WHO ELECTED YOU can procure scores and of letters received by me since began this campaign from all the district WHO AXE DISPLEASED WITH YOUR RECORD IN WASHINGTON.
 You say in your letter Mr. Boen Phillips that the statements of cotongambng contracts Wlth N A' Carpenter Co., forgeres You have instructed cer- tain of your supporters say that these statements were stolen from your private files Now, aren't you gettng your crossed?

You only prolonglng your own agony by qubbng this matter You sanoer the intelligence of the good people of the state or when you try to make them beheVe tnat thls A1v hill protects them against gamblers of the Cotton FIX changes They is not true You are Tn receipt oi message members of Congress from the co1oh growers of Hope Arkansas last week urging that p Oe passed to stop operation of these nearous ganong concerns LICENSED BY THE VERY LAW 4oo AnI TRYING TO UPHOLD. Your very attitude Tn neing the only Arkansas Congressman who voted for the Dill ana III trying to uphold it law when it's repeal IS demanueu BRANDS YOU AS HAVING SOME SPECIAL INTEREST IN SEEING THESE COTTON GAMBLERS CONTINUE TO ROB THE PEOPLE.
