OF CONGRESSMAN GAMBLER.


nouncement column, and editori;
mention elsewhere, Congressman Car
dler announces for reelection froI
this, the first congressional distric
His home paper, the Corinthiar
has the following to say of his candi
dacy:
1T gives us very great pleasure t
publish in today's Corinthian the an
nouncement of our fellow-townsma
Hon, K. S. Gambler, for re election +
Congress. In "A former issue of thi
paper, some time ago, we stated edi
torially that we thought this wa
time when the people should asl
Mr.. Gambler to continue in Congress
at least for another term. iand that j
was his patriotic duty to do so. Their,
never was a time when such knowl
edge and experience as he possesses
acquired during long, efficient anC
faithful service would be so beneficial
to the people in the coming days o.
reconstruction during the next tern
Of Congress. Mr.. Gambler has splen
did record for promptnes, efficiency
accomplishment and devotion to pub
lie duty which justifies his reelection
"No man, woman or child evel
wrote him letter who did not re
ceive a prompt reply and if request
was maze it received immediate at
teutior, whether it was in reference
to a matter, great or small.
when he was elected to Congress
there was not a single Rural Delivery
Route in this congressional district
Now practically every citizen IN the
country gets his mail every day
promptly at his home through this
service, which is great blessing and
benefit to our rural population. There
was not a single free mail delivery in
the towns Of the district Now a num-
number of them have this service.
There was no agricultural work be-
ing done by the government in this
district Now, we have this charac-
ter of work in every county, The lar
mers could not borrow mony from the
government. Now, they can get long
time loans under the Federal Farm
Loan Act at a low rate Of interest.
The government has loaned the farm
ers under this act over $300,000,000
during the Cne month If janua4Y, 1920
loaned them over fifteen million dol
lars.
Periodically we had great money
panics producing low prices and great
distress. Now we have the Federal
Reserve Systems under which money
is plentiful and a panic impossible.
The recent war could not have been fl
nanced without this system. We had
practically no Merchant Marine, and
our flag had almost disappeared from
the seas and we only carried seven per
cent of our commerce. Now our flag
is again seen throughout the world
and we carry largely our own products
which greatly benefits our farmers
and producers. Only about three mil.
lion dollars per year was ar fcpllat&d
for agricultural development in the
United States. For last sear over
thirty-three million dollars was appro-
priated for this purpose. There was no
appropriations for good roads, now
the government is spending millions IN
aiding the building of good roads,.
MI. NIdIlQICI ~ a WI 3AiAit@AAe't%A
member of the Committee on Agricul-
ture, and is an authority on agricul-
tural legislation and enjoys the con-
fdence and esteem of all the members
of congress, and is entitled to much OF
the credit for the appropriations now
made for agriculture. These excel
lent laws and many more Mr.. Can
der helned to pass through Congress.
Time and space viii not permit us
to mention others, but we call atten-
ton to these in evidence Of his active
and useful service. He favors real
economy in governmental affairs, con-
sistent with efficient service in order
to reduce the taxes at the earliest pos
sible date. HIS work, speeches and
votes have all been for the good OF the
people.
During The war and since the arm
tce was signed, he has done and VIII
continue to do everything possible
for the boys of our army and navy
and other loved ones. No soldier, his
father mother, brother, sister, sweet
heart or friend ever called on him for
help that he did not promptly and Ell
feetively respond and perform the ser
vice requested. If anybody doubts
this statement evidence can De found
in practically every nelghborhood
throughout this district where he mas
sesultl insurance, allotments, conn /
pcnsation, bonuses, mileage equip
ment, or vocational training and ev-
erything possible for some soldies boy
or his loved ones If any soldier
thinks he is entitled to anything under
the law which he has not received,
write Zele Gambler; he will promptly
get it for you if You are entitled to IT.
Our soldier boys need him in Congress
until their affairs are all settled and
their final status is fixed in the recon-
struction legislation He is familiar
with all their business and is always
ready, willing and anxious to help
them.
Mr.. Gambler moved to Corinth
from Iuka thirty-three years agowhen
quite young man and has lived here
since.He has gone in and out before
u.s. and always been on the right side
Of every public question during all
these years. He enjoys the absolute
confidence and high esteem of tn peo-
pie of Corinth and Alcorn, male and
female The people of the City of Cor
inlh and of Alcorn county are more
strongly behind him in this race than
for many years. At this time, espec-
ialy, they feel that they need Mr..
in Congress, and therefore
they invite the citizens of the other
in this district to join with
them in his support, and thereby in
