is that of agriculture. And it has
been the last to receive the attention

present emergency of the farmer
calls for serious consideration by our
law-making bodies. He is entitled to
that consideration and protection
which will secure to him the comforts
and conyeniences of life and enable
him to properly laise and educate
his children. Legislation is necessary
to enable him to find wider mar

and cheaply distribute his products,
and to promote system of coop
erative marketing which will protect
him from the present system of forced
sale whereby the products of his
toll are subject to the cupidity Of
those who fix the prices. There is too
much disparity between the selling
price OF his raw material and the
manufactured article he is compelled
to buy. He shoIld not have to bear
the present heavy cost of transporta-
tion on his products and what he
buys, which is made necessary by a
system which favor3 some to the det-

HON. ". ". CRAIG IN
RACE FOR CONGRESS
Ripley Lawyer Is Out for Congress
from Ninth District.

Hon. w. w. Craig, prominent Wes
Tennessee lawyer and present Stat
Senator from Crockett, Lauderdal
| and Dyer counties, announces hi
candidacy for the Democratic nomi
nation for Congress in the Nintl
District, composed of Crockett, Dyer
Gibson, Haywood, Lake, Lauderdale
Upton, Obion, Weakley counties
against Finis J. Garrett. Sen. Crais
comes out on a platform demanding
economy in government, the soy
ereignty of the States, and loya
service to the people of the district.
Sen. Craig's announcement fol
lows:
"To the Democratic voters of thu
Ninth Congressional District
For number of years l have de,
sired to represent this district in the
Congress of the United States. This
laudable ambition and sincere de
sire to serve you moves me to an
nounce my candidacy for the Dem
ocratic nomination for this high po-
sition. am not unmindful of the d,l-
ties and responsibilities which will
be imposed by the success of my as
prations. I believe my experience
and training justifies me in believ-
ing that / can offer to you a fair
measure of effective service in return
for your support and confidence.
II deem it within the requirements
of propriety that should state to
you, at least in general outline,
some of the things for which / will
stand e you commission me to rep
resent you in the Halls of Congress.
First believe representative
of any free people and especially OF
this, the best Congressional District
in Tennessee, should, at all times, be
actuated by tho purest motives to
serve his constituents, to entertain
the highest ideals of manhood and
statesmanship and to evince his sin
certify by living up to the ideals
which he processes.
Second believe a representa-
tives first duty is to his own con-
stituents before turning his atten-
tion to things which concern them
only remotely or which pertain to his
own personal ambition. If I am elect
ed as your Congressman, my first eff
fort will be to serve you diligently,
faithfully and efficiently from the
to the most important per-
son in my district.
Third believe in legislation
limiting and restricting the amount
which a candidate for Congress or
the U. S. Senate may spend in Sc
curing his nomination and election.
In this way only does an honest man
If limited means have a chance to
De elected to office. Legitimate ex-
oenses should be met, but no dishon-
est candidate should be allowed to
corrupt the ballot with money Fair

)est guarantee of American liberty

supply and demand tc regulate such
prices.
"Seventh-In this connection, not
only with reference to the farmer,
but with reference to all other classes
of industry, I favor government
protection against monopolies and all
other unnatural and unjust fixing of
prices of commodities. The profiteer
| is still abroad in the land. During
the World War the Government, to
some degree, showed that it could
exercise a Restraining hand. 1t has
as much power and it is as much it's
duty to protect it's people from the
foe within as to shield them from
the foe who would invade our ter
ritory from without.
Eighth believe in the econom-
ic expenditure of public monies al
ways. In times Of depression it is a
sure means of getting relief from op-
pressive burdens. In prosperous
times it is a guarantee against fu-
ture perils. Necessities of govern
ment should always be cheerfully
provided for, but the luxuries of
government administra ton should
never be tolerated.

rect and indirect, to the minimum

"Tenth-The heaviest drain upon
our finances and therefore the great
est demand for large amounts in
taxes comes from the maintaining of
large standing armies and heavy ma
val ornaments. do net think these
are necessary. The adoption of the
Treaty of Versailles and the League
of Nations, the keeping of faith with
our Allies, the disbanding of large
standing armies, the limitations of
armaments, prosecuting a policy of
assistance instead of an attitude of |

hours.

chiefs have been in daily confer

information as to their discussions

Mems union.
Concerning the statement made in
Chicago yesterday by union leaders
there that the strike vote now be-
ing taken indicated 80 per cent
vote in favor of a strike, the leaders
here refused today to comment, fur
ther than to say that such vote
would effectively answer the claim
of railroad presidents, in a recent
statement, that there was no strike
sentiment among the rank and file
of the workers.

Sentiment is overwhelmingly in

however, as to how negotiations
should be conducted with the miners.
Some are holding out for dealing
with the strikers by small districts
