CAREERS ANNOUNCEMENT OF CAN
DIDACY

To the Republican voters Of the Eighth
Congressional District of Oklahoma:
am candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress for this dis
trict, subject TO the primary election
to be held August LIST. am Repub-
lican. | endorse the national platform
of the Republican party and the ad-
ministration of Warren G.. Harding.
It's peace achievements are without
parallel in the history of governments.
Its legislation designed to .rectify col
lossal blunders on the part of its Dem
ocratic predecessors is unequalled. Its
back k-to-the-crossroad movement for
thousands of unnecessary Democratic
appointees and its relentless chopping
off Of unnecessary appropriations and
public expenditures to the extent of
two billion dollars per year is the prac-
tical economy and efficiency our pres
ent needs require. The law prohibit
ing gambling in grain futures, the war
finance corporation act permitting the
issuance Of securities to the extent of
a billion dollars to aid the transporta-
tion of agricultural products apd pro-
viding credit for agricultural purposes),
the appropriation of seventy-five mill
lion dollars to the farm labor board and
seventy-five million for public high
ways, the farmers cooperative mark
citing bill, the packers bill clothing
the secretary of agriculture with pow
er sufficient to investigate the prices
and profits of the packing and refriger-
ating plants-are all Republican en-
actments to relieve the farmers from
the blighting and blasting effects of
Democratic conditions and show that
this administration recognizes agricul-
ture as the leading basic industry of
the country. These measures, sup
plemented by others, will, in the course
of time, usher in new era of good
prices for farm products, good wages
for labor. good trade for merchants
substantial prosperity for all.
This is an agricultural district; the
prosperity of the farmer is the pros
perity of all. The banker for his bus
mess, the merchants for their trade,
the laborer for their wage, the pro-
| fessional men for their earnings, are
all dependent on the prosperity of the
farmer. Legislation to promote agri-
| culture is therefore in the interest of
all. Help the basic industry and you
help all other lines. The farmers must
have better financial facilities, better
transportation facilities and better
marketing facilities. We must have a
tariff sufficiently high to keep out all
| foreign farm products and preserve
the American market for the Ameri-
can farmer-a tariff sufficiently high
to keep out all products of foreign la
Dor and preserve the American market
| for the American workhen.
In this district there are thousands
of boys who offered their services in
defense of our country. They must
not he permitted te bear all the burden
of their sacrifice. We cannot restore
( life to the heroic dead or health to the
stricken body, but we can care for the
widow and orphans and adjust the com
pensation to the living. They carried
on" for us then. We must carry on"
for tn m now When it comes to a
question of simple justice to our boys,
coupled with an expression of our graf
itude for them, there should be and is
no limit to the credit OF the govern
ment they so successfully defended in
the Argonne and Flanders fields.
The above is but brief outline Of
/ my views on public questions. ] hope
to be able to elaborate my position
thoroughly during this campaign. If
nominated and elected | will use my
utmost endeavors to promote such leg
islation as is designed for the best in
terests and material prosperity of my
constituents. Your support for my
candidacy is most earnestly solicited
and will be gratefully appreciated.
Sincerely yours.
M. c. CARRIER.
