HON E. s. GAMBLER FOR
CONGRESS

CONGRESS.
The Dispatch presents the an
nouncemcnt Of Hon. E. S. Gambler a.
candidate for Congress from thi.
the First Congressional District. HI,
home paper, the Corinthian. very
forcibly presents his cause in the fol-
lowing editorial, which We gladly re-
produce:
ut gives us very great pleasure tC
publish in today's Corinthian the an
nouncemont Of our fellow townsman
Hon. F. S. Gambler, for reelection Ia
4 Congress. In a former issue Of this
paper some time ago, we stated edi-
torially that we thought that this was
time when the people should ask
/ Mr.. Gambler to continue in Congress
at least for another term and that it
was his patriotic duty to do so. There
never was a time when such know
ledge and experience as he possesses,
acquired during his long efficient and
faithful service would be so beneficial
to the people as in the coming days
of reconstruction during the next
term of Congress. Mr.. Gambler has
splendid record for promptness,
efficiency, accomplishment and devot-
ion to public duty which justifies his
reelection
"No man, woman, or child ever
wrote him a letter who did not re-
ceive a prompt reply and if request
was made it received immediate at
tention, 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 homo 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 num-
Der of them have this service, Corinth
being thus supplied.
There was no agricultural work be-
ing done by the Government in this |
district. Now, we have this character
of work in every county. The farmers
could not borrow money from the
Government Now, they can get long
time loans under the Federal Farm
Loan Act at low rate of interest, /
The Government has loaned the farm
ers under this act over $500, 100000
and during the one month Of January,
1920, loaned them over fifteen million
dollars.
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 financed without this sys-
TEN. We had practically no Merchant
Marine, and our flag had almost dis
from the seas and we only
carried seven per cent of our COM
merce, Now, our flag is again seen
throughout the world and we carry
largely our own products, which great
ly benefits our farmers and produc-
crs. Only about three million dollars
per year was appropriated for agric-
ultural development in the United
States. For last year over thirty
three million dollars was appropriated
for this purpose. There was no APP
preparations for good roads, now the
government is spending millions in
aiding the building of good roads. b.
Mr.. Gambler is very influential
Of the Committee on Agricul- /.
turc, and is an authority on agricul- /
tural legislation, and enjoys the con
fidcnce and esteem Of all the members
Of Congress, and is entitled to much
of the credit for the appropriations
