Mr.. Ivan Wilmington, Of Bossier City,
was loaded for St Louis Tuesday
morning.
This bunch Of cattle was in fine
shape-big, fat fellows, all OF them.
During the fall they were allowed the
run Of corn and velvet bean fields and
were finished up on corn. Their flesh
should be firm and they should demand
a fairly good price. As to how Mr..
Shaw will come out in the venture we
are unable to say, as prices have
shrunk very much since he purchased
some Of the cattle.

In discussing the issues on which
the present congressional campaign
seems to be pitched it is not the pur-
pose Campaign Committee to enter
into any bitter antagonism of parti-
sanship. All who know B. G. Low
rev know that hatred and malice are
not in his makeup There is moth
ing from which he shrinks more than
campaign OF personalities. he
has not asked and will never ask that
he be elected to Congress on the
failures and shortcomings of another
man. 1t has been his wish that the
present campaign be pitched on the
issues of public policy and service
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-08-10
WHAT HAS HE DONE IN CONGRESS?

Tn answer to this question which people will very
naturally and properly ask about B. u Lowrey or any
other congressman, who offers Tor feelecuoi we ue
to submit the following:
FIRST as to his position legislative questions it
is impossible here to give full account OF all the Vo0es
he has cast in view of the TACT that ne mas answered
more than four hundred roll calls. His votes however,
are matter of which he will be glad to submit at
anv time to anybody interested We hope however, that
Mr. Lowreys friends will accept report as to now ne
may have voted any measure until they have verified
such report.
In general we may say that Mr.. Lowrey has voted
AGAINST all efforts to levy tariffs that will in
crease the of living the family He voted
against the reduction of tax big incomes and profits
He is opposed to tariff on fertilizers
has voted and worked to that proper actlon IS
taken in relation Muscle Shoals
He has opposed needless appropriation OF all hioS'
He is opposed to the ship subsidy.
He favors law to control the issue of non-taxable
securities.
He favors the limitation of immigration
He is opposed undue Capitalization of govern
He has supported nt-gambing and prohibition
children.
He has favored legislation for the and COM
pensation of and disabled soldiers and sailors
and their dependents
He has supported legislation intended to punish war
frauds and profteers.
He has supported legislation to extend credit to farm
SECOND as the Representative of the Second Missis-
sippi District he has made the following Speeches in
Congress-
May H. 1921 he spoke in opposition to extravagant
expenditures included in the Army Appropriation Bill
June 49, 1921 he spoke in opposition to the nterna
tiona policy of the Republican party which has delayed
peace prevented return normal conditions and greatly
increased the financial burden of the people At the same
time he expressed himself as unwilling oppose for par
tisan any honest effort to bring about peace
July T. 1921 he spoke in favor of increased credits to
and in opposition to discrimination in favor OF
big business.
Nov. 49, 1921 he spoke in favor of proper leglsla-
ton for the protection Of women and children

lynching Bill, which advocated by good men,
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-08-10

which vitality effect the welfare of
the people.
1t has so come about that the is
sues of this campaign has been fore
ed on the question of Mr.. Lowrey's
personal standing and honesty, and
the honesty and intelligence of GER
tain other citizens of the District
some of whom have ~ been Mr..
Lowrey's political friends in the past.
The Anderson Campaign Commit
tee of Ripley has recently published
in the papers of the District an APP
peal setting forth the grounds on
which the Democrats of the District
are asked to seat its candidate II
Congress.
+ In this appeal the committee does
not attack Mr.. Lowrey's official rec
ord at any point. To US, of course
that fact is gratifying, as it may be
presumed therefrom that they found
nothing in Mr. Lowrey's official rec
ord on which they were willing tc
risk a public attack at date which
would give time for answer and III
vestigation. For that matter, it has
been subject of remark over the
District that Mr.. Lowrey has maoe
a Congressman of usual ability, faith
fulness, and efficiency.
| By actual count of the words abou,
eleven-thirteenths of the appea
which the Anderson Campaign Com
mite has broadcasted over the Dis
I trict is devoted to two matters, eth
er directly or indirectly.
% The Lowrey-Anderson vote In
/ Tippah County two years ago and
! (2) The Election Contest at New
Albany.
/ Since a claim to a seat in Con-
gress is based on these two issues
and seemingly no others, let us face
| the matter squarely and examine the
issues. The Anderson Committee is
right, If Mr.. Lowrey is man of
unpopular personality in his own
community, and dishonest character,
the District certainly ought not to
keep him as its Representative in
Washington.
! The committee speaks of Tippah
as the county where both Mr.. Low
rey and Mr.. Anderson shave been
lifelong citizens" and says the Tip
pan vote is the Testimony of their
home people.
/ 1t is a matter of common know
ledge that Mr. Lowrey has not been
lifelong citizen of Tippah county
and that for ten years almost imme-
diately preceding the 1920 election
i he was not a citizen of Tippah coun-
ty at all, neither voting or residing
there. From early in 1910 to the fall
of 1916 on account of the hath OF
one of his younger children, he and
his family lived in the Panhandle of
Texas From there thew moved in
1916 to Clinton, Kinds County, Mis-
sissippi, and from there they came
i back late in 1919 to Blue Mountain
lTippah County.
Lowrey's absence the good county OF
Tippah grew very rapidly in popula-
ton. There was much drainage and
Opening up of new lands. Not only
that, but the hundreds of boys who
were eleven to twenty-one years of
age when Mr.. Lowrey left the coun-
lty grew into citizenship by the time
he moved back. So the general popu-
Ilation and the voting population
changed very materially.
During these ten years Mr.. An
derson was living in the county seat
of Tippah, editing the paper there
running for and holding public Of
Ifice, and leading the political faction
that dominated the county by heavy
majority.
It is worthy of notice, by the way
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-08-10

that Mr.. Lowrey carried his home
box, where he was really known, by
about the same proportionate ma
jority that Mr. Anderson carried the
county.
This matter might be discussed at
even greater length, but we see no
reason why an issue so obviously mis-
leading and non-essential should be
dignified with more space than neces-
sary.
THE SECOND ISSUE WHICH
THE GENTLEMEN OF THE AN
! DERSON COMMITTEE raise is bas-
ed on the election contest at New Al
bany.
! When two men differ as to their
aims or interests neither is capable
Z of Judging the case from an unpre-
/ JUDGED standpoint Therefore, So
ciety has established courts or trib-
unals to which such matters may be
referred. 1t is the part of good
citizens to submit their differences
to such established authority and
abide by the decision. In. affairs of
party politics this authority is the
executive committee, legally consti-
tuted as such. 1t is the party court.
! AS the Anderson Committee itself
says, "Our supreme court has held
that the action CT the Executive
Committee 10 h%i and there is TO
appeal to the 80 T.. IS So d. Llle re-
quest of Mr.. Anderson the New AL
bany election was referred to the au-
thority which had legal jurisdiction
over 1.-THE Union County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee.
! The good Democrats of Union
County had selected the committee
long before the election contest was
dreamed of, three men from each of
their supervisors districts. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that they were
men of standing and ability. or they
would not have been selected. They
came from all parts of the county.
There were fifteen members of this
committee, but three of them were
unable to attend the hearings. The
other twelve st for two days listen
ing to and considering the evidence
which Mr.. Anderson and his three
attorneys put before them.
Members of this committee, of
course, knew the men who swore
they voted for Mr.. Anderson. They
knew the twelve citizens who under
oath conducted the election at the
New Albany boxes and certified the
returns.
After listening to the evidence for
two days .'the jury did not hang;;"
! they did not even hesitate. Coming
from all parts of Union County and
representing both factions, they i'm
mediately and unanimously decided
the case in Mr.. Lowrey's favor,
each one of them and every one of
them signing the decision with his
own hand. This unanimous decision
was reported, in due order, to the
District Executive Committee, which
had not heard the evidence introduc.
ed at the contest hearing, and which
accepted the report by a vote of
ltwenty-six to six.
It is difficult to believe that all
twelve of the New Albany. citizens
who held the election there were
criminals, banded together to steal
the election.
| We beg to submit that the ques-
ton is simply as to whether the citi-
zens will return to Congress a man
who in one brief term has well nigh
made a national reputation and has
brought honor to the District and the
State. or whether they will unseat
him in favor Of man who until this
late date has based his claim on
practically no other ground than
above indicated.
