the farmer ahything--the farmer
who uses gasoline for his automobile

Ferris Is stirring up class hatred.

him to assist the oil industry---even
though he wanted to.
I'VE read and hear a lot about
what my opponent has accomplished
but we never hear mentioned the
actual accomplishments of his ef-
forts. I am willing to compare rec
ords with Mr.. Ferris at any time
that is the one method OF finding
who has really accomplished things
IN Washington.

duty. He charged that with the
other hand Ferris reached into the
i salary grab and took $5,255.14 to

z Ferris voted for the Lever bilh he
charged, which legislation would re-

The food control bill harms the
farmer. My opponent voted for It.
although he says he has never done
anything that would cause the
farmer to lose anything. AS soon as
