Il. M. JACOWAY
FOR REELECTION
REPRESENTATIVE FROM FIFTH
DISTRICT MAKES AN ACCOUNT
ING OF HIS STEWARDSHIP
AND ASKS REELECTION.

The announcement of Hon. H. NJ.
Jacoway for reelection as Representa-
tive of the Fifth District in Congress
has appeared in The Pulaskian for
several months. Mr.. Jacoway has
come from Washington to devote the
last three weeks of the campaign TO
looking after his interests as candi-
date for another term. He has estab-
lished headquarters in the Boyle build
ing and is endeavoring to reach per-
sonally and by letter as many of the
voters of the District as possible.
Mr.. Jacoway says the exigencies of
the times do not permit him to make
the usual kind of a campaign, as his
entire time has been needed in Wash
ington He has sc arranged his ar
fairs, however, that he can give few
days to political matters, with the UNI
derstanding that he is subject to the
immediate call of Speaker Clark
should his presence become necessary
in carrying forward any of the great
constructive war measures to which
the Administration is committed.
while it is a remarkable tribute
to the patriotism of the people of the
United States" says Mr.. Jacoway,
that in pending legislation before
Congress, party lines are subordinat-
ed, still the president needs the loyal,
unfaltering, and united support and
assistance of the several members"
Mr.. Jacoway calls attention 20 LII, K,
record in Congress, the committees
upon which he has served and the
things that have been accomplished
for the benefit of the people, and
which is his pledge for the future. At
his special request he is now a mem
Der of the Agricultural COMMITTEE,
recognized as one of the nine most i'm
portant of all the House committees.
No Congressman, under rule of the
House, can serve on more than one of
the great nine standing committees.
Before he was assigned to the Com
mittee on Agriculture, he held mem
bership on the Indian Affairs, Pension
and Election Committees, and was one
of committee of nine elected by the
House to investigate the sugar COM
merce, the work of which committee
resulted in putting sugar on the free
list, and but for the war the law would
be in force today.
He has been particularly active in
furthering internal improvements for
the district. and has given his person
al attention to the thousands of re-
quests that come to him from his con-
stituents for services of all kinds.
One of the conditions with which
the public is not thoroughly familiar
is that there has been a tremendous
sincrease in the duties devolving upon
a member of Congress due to the war
activities, and the constructive poll
cies that have been adopted as the
notable features of the Administrative
program. These duties are so numer-
Gus that they keep a member of Con-
gress constantly on the job.
Mr.. Jacoway submits his claims for
reelection purely upon his record and
his fitness for an office for which he
has qualified himself through several
years of service He asks the careful
consideration of all voters, both men
and women. when they go to the polls
May 28, and that his record be care
fully scrutinized and examined in de-
tail.
