..r-- --~.---..-. honorably represented than by
 our present congressman, who
 has every interest of the people
 at heart. He is not only most popular man in his district, but
 is man who Is entitled to and possesses the unbounded conf dence of his constituents. Since
 he has been in Washington as our representative he has been
 unusually honored by his col
 leagues. There have been few members of Congress who have received the recognition accord ed Col. Taylor. When the Clay
 ton anti trust bill was before the House, the speaker called upon Col. Taylor to preside, and
 in referring to this a Washing.
 ton paper said: "Arkansas Congressman presides with dig nifty and grace" :" When the U. $. government was called upon
 to investigate the great labor
 disturbance in the copper mine districts of Michigan, and com mittee of Congress was appoint ed to make investigation, our congressman was one of the members chosen to serve on this committee, and as Washington newspaper correspondent said, "This is a signal distinction for Congressman Taylor, because he
 has only been a member of Con- gress for a short while" 1t might be said here that this com mittee settled this disturbance
 satisfactorily to both sides.
 Upon study of his record since he went to Congress one will find that it is beyond criti- cism. You will find also that he
 took a prominent part in all of the deliberations of the most important Congress since the Civil War.
 1t was indeed a most deserv- ing tribute paid him during the
 last State Convention when the delegates of the Sixth Congress. ional District Convention met and unanimosly adopted a reso-
 lution commenting Congress-
 man Taylor as being faithful
 servant of the people of his dis
 trict, serving their interests at all
 times, and also said, We con
 gratulate him upon every vote
 that he has cast since elected as our Congressman as being a just vote and for the benefit of the people; but we further com mend him to the people of this
 district as being worthy of our
 support as a capable, efficient, and honest servant who serves his people by staying at his post of duty.n When this resolution
 was passed Congressman Taylor was in his seat in the House of Congress.
 Congressman Taylor should not have opposition, and we pre- dict that any opposition he has or may have will receive little encouragement from the voters of this district He is not only a credit to his district, but to the state as we'll. The people do not forget a faithful servant.
 History shows that the longer a man remains in Congress when he is efficient, honest, faithful, and prompt, the more useful he can be to his people. The North and East have been keeping their members in Congress for long time, and the South has been do- ing so now for a number of years.
 MT. Taylor has at all times been a strong friend of Mir. Will sons administration. Ing speak ing of the work of the last Con gress our great President said: "I wish 1 could speak by name of the many men who have so honorably shared in these dis tinguished labors. 1 look for ward with confidence to the cleo tions. The voters of the United States have never failed to re- ward real service. I would like to go into every district of every member of Congress who have cnctainol nnI aluaAl 4Lo
