FROM THE PEOPLE
The Coming Congressional Election


Editor of the Beacon
Now that the election for congress-
man is. fast approaching, few words
in behalf of our esteemed axd efficient
congressman, E. S. Gambler may not be
out of place. His close attention to
every request made of him, from the
highest to the lowest. is known of all
men. No letter so badly written but
it receives the same careful attention
as one written in the most perfect hand,
or on the most up-to- date typewriter,
In fact. Mr.. Gambler says that many
people who are little accustomed to
wriling do not keep writing material
convenient, and are little accustomed
to writing, do not keep writing mate
convenient, and are without modern
facilities. and consequently to these, it
is great deal of trouble to write. To
all who desire his services he extends a
cordial invitation to write with what
ever material they may have at hand
pencil, pen or what:not-their commu-
nication will have every attention.
1t is we'll known that he is a member
of the agricultural committee, most
important committee, and has always
worked for larger agricultural appro-
priotions, so that the agricultural in
terests of the nation might be fostered
hence we see the great agricultural
awakening throughout the land. Surely
a fit congressman for the first district
of Mississippi.
When the democrats came into power,
he did not seek, but was selebted as
the fittest member of congress to act
as the secretary of the committee of
agriculture.
No man in congress enjoys to
greater extent the respect and conf
dence Of his associates than does Zeke
Gambler, and it is certainly matter of
pride to his constituents that they
never have to feel any uneasiness as to
his position-they know that he will
always show up on the right side. After
sixteenn years of service no word or
vote of his has ever been successfully
questioned,
Boiled down, the only argument of
his opponents is that they would like to
have the job. They both are enjoying
lucrative law practices, while Mr..
Gambler has no other occupation than
mis- Office of congressman. than whom
there is no more efficient, conscientious
and useful member in congress.
1t will be long before the people Of
Noxubee county forget or fail to sp-
preciate the service he rendered US
yecr or two ago, when we were
threatened with an outbreak of char
bon among our cattle. The facts
were wired to him at Corinth, Miss,
and he was asked if he could help US
he replied that he would try. The
case grew more urgent, and second
wire was sent askingIf he coulc get US
expert help, and he replied that he had
man on the way from Washington,
D. G. The expert came, proper and
prompt measures were taken, and the
threatened outbreak averted.
Mr.. Candler's high standing with
the administration is the reason he
was able to give US such prompt as
sistance. 1t took him years to learn
his duties we'll and to grow into the
esteem and confidence of the officials
at Washington.
1t takes more time to make a good
congressman than it does to make an
efficient lawyer.
While the heads of the departments
change with the change of administra-
tions. the under men who really run
the business of the different depart
ments change slowly.
Coming from a line of ilustrious
men of talent, Zeke Gambler has we'll
upheld the traditions of his family,
and has reflected credit upon himself
and his constituents. He deserves re-
election. He deserves our support.
Yours truly,
