der lot re-elecClOn 10 congress
Mr.. Gambler has lived in Corintf
since 1887, coming here when ;
very young man to engage in the
practice Of law. By strict atten
ton to business, and fidelity t
his clients, he rapidly acquired
prominence in his profession and
at the time of his election to Con.
gress, enjoyed a large practice in
this and adjoining states.
After his election to Congress,
he retired from the practice OF
law, and has devoted his whole
time and attention to the dis.
charge of his official duties as a
Representative in Congress from
the First District in Mississippi.
During all the years of his resi-
dence here, he has been on the
right side Of every moral ques-
ton, and no one enjoys to a great
er extent, the confidence and es-
teen of the people of this com
munity and of his home county,
than Mr.. Gambler. He is recog-
nized by everybody to be an up-
right man, an honest citizen and
a heightened Christian gentleman
In the discharge Of his official
duties, it is conceded by every
body, that he has been honest,
energetic, prompt, efficient and
faithful. In fact, there has nev-
err been atany time, any criticism
of his official record. and so far
as We know, there is none now.
A man who has served in Con-
gress as long as he has, and has
met the approval of the people,
is certainly to be congratulated.
Besides giving close attention to
his legislative duties, he has de-
voted himself energetically to Sc
curing the best possible mail facil-
tiles for the people and to the de-
yelopment of the agricultural in
terests Of his district. evidences
of which appear everywhere. He
is on the great Committee on Ag-
riculture in the House of Repre-
sentatives. and by reason of his
membership on this Committee,
has an opportunity to help write
and pass all legislation for the
benefit Of the agricultural inter-
ests in the United States and is
enabled to be especially useful to
the farmers in his own district.
He is at the present time, the old.
est member in service in Con-
gress from Mississippi. and by
reason of this fact he is enabled
to accomplish more for the peo-
pile and receive greater recogni-
ton than any younger member
could possibly accomplish or en-
JOY. History shows that the
longer a member is retained in
Congress. when he is honest.
efficient and faithful in
the discharge of his duties, the
more useful he can be to the peo-
Pile. The Moth and East learn
this a long time ago and it has
their custom to continue
their members in Congress, and
therefore, they have received
greater benefits from the Nation
al Government than could have
obtained if they had pur-
a different course and chang
their Representatives. The
people should seriously consider
the question as to whether it is
best for their own interest and
the good of the District and the
country, 10 make a change in
their representative, when there
are so many difficult, complex
and important questions await
ing settlement in Congress and
confronting this great Republic.
The serious question for the peo-
pie to consider, is who can be of
the greatest service to this Dis
trict, to his State and to the
country at large. and then vote
for the man who they honestly
believe can secure the best re-
suits.
We present the candidacy of
our fellow-townsman to the peo-
pie of the First District, and earn
estly urge a conscientious and
careful consideration of the serv-
ice he has rendered. If he has
been faithful in the past it is rea-
sonable to believe he would be
faithful in the future, and if re-
elected would continue to rem.
der prompt, efficient and compe-
tent service to all the people.
Give Mr., Candler's candidacy
your conscientious consideration
and vote for the best interest in
the district, state and country
and he and his friends will be
satisfied with the result.
