In this issue of the Chronicle appea RS
the formal announcement of Hon. r. +.
Kidd. of Chenille for the Democratic
nomination for State Senate to fill the
vacancay Occasioned by the desoh of
Hon. j. n. Shacelford. also of Chenille.
Sen. Bob" Kidd needs little intro
duction to the Democratic voters of
Calhoun county. We rather claim that
he belongs to us about as much as to
Gilmer county, and our voters have sup
ported him more Loyalty than the fell
lars up in Gilmer. As we have said it
would simply be waste of linotype
metal to dwell on the ability and fit
ness of Kidd for the office. However,
we reproduce short item from recent
copy of the Braxton Democrat, showing
that is equally as popular in that Sec
ton of the district as in this end.
THE people of Gilmer county believe
that they are entitled to representatio
in the state senate for the full term for
which their county man, the late SEN
ator John n. Shacelford was elected,
and have put forth Senator Robert f.
Kidd as their candidate. Nearly every
body III this district. and in West Vir-
ginia. for that matter. knows Senator
Kidd. He is one of the biggest and
hrainiest Democrats of the whole bunch
and is stump speaker with few
equals. He is very popular as a Demo
rat and citizen and will have the
heartiest support of his friends ali
over the district

the privilege of repayment in install
ments through q long or short period
of years, at the borrowers option; to
assemble the farm credits of the nation

The Federal land banks were located
in December. 1916, and established I'm
March, 1917. The first farm loan as
ISOLATION was chartered and the first
loans authorized in March, 1917.
The machinery for the application of
the farm loan act is divided into three
parts as follows: CD The Federal

Great Institution

Many farmers in their testimony as
To their condition. complain because
the federal farm loan system does not
junction so as to take over all their
mortgage business. 1t was never meant
to do this. 1t was meant to grow safe
ly. This means it must not grow too
fast. 1t started five years ago with
S9oOO,OOO capital lent by the govern
'ment. 1t has paid this back and has
twenty-siX and half millions capital
now. and assets of $4,000 900.
1t finds it can sell to the public about
Sl3oOOO.OOO in its bonds year. This
marks the limits of its legitimate
growth. TO push more bonds on the
market would glut the market and de-
press the bond price so that ii could
not sell for enough to make the loans.
The system is increasing its business
at the rate of over million dollars n
month, its capital by 100000 month
its surplus by 100000 "A month. and IFS
gross assets by $13,OOO,0OO n month
These are impressive figures. 1t is
now the largest mutual farmers organ
iZation in the world. and at present
rate of growth it will be in five years
the largest financial institution i'm the
United States.
It's loans average about $4,000 in
amount. 1t loans at rate at least
two per cent per annum less than other
farm loan agencies on the average. 1t
does this because it sells bonds which
are tax free to raise the money to loan
to farmers.
If there is any fault TO find with il il
Is because it is too careful of the secur-
lty OF its loans. This is shown by the
tact that to date it has only taken one
bad-debt loss of $500. Such care must
DO injustice occasionally TO persons
who want to borrow. but il is an error
in the right direction. This much must
be admitted as true; the system is. func-
uontng splendidly; il is doing as much
business as 1t should do: it gradually
is taking over its full share of the farm
loan business of the country and it is
pulling the teeth of the farm mortgage
shark, not only by the loans it makes.
but by the mere fact that it is in the
field.

coincidence that Northumberland

Kidd, of Chenille. for it was i'm hot
ly fought contest in senatorial con.
ycntion at Sutton way back In 1910.
that a Pocahontas man was so defeat-
ed by Sen. Kidd that the boys over in
that end of the district have been
pretty much disgusted with senatorial
politics ever since. At least none of
them have sought sentOrial nomina-
ton since. This time they put their
best foot forward and ask for recog-
milton of their claims.
They have selected fine man. one
who is popular in his own county and
in other sections of the state where he
is better known. We reprint an article
from a recent copy of the Charleston
Gazette concerning DIR. Prices candi-
dacy;
DIR. ~ Il. Price. of Marlinton. Poca
hOntas county is a candidate for State
Senate, short term, on the Democratic
ticket, for the 10th Senatorial district.
Or. Price has served two terms as couil.
ty commissioner for Pocahontas county.
and at present is Mayor of Marlinton.
He served in the army for nearly two
years during the war, and was dis
charged with the rank Of captain i'm
the medical corps. He organized Poca-
hOntas Post No. 30, the American Lee
gion, and was it first commander His
declaration as candidate for the Sen
ate was filed with the Secretary of
state yesterday.
The Price family has been identified
with the history of Pocahontas county
since its formation. Dr. Prices father
was born where the town Of Marlinton
is now located, the Rev VIM. r. Price
j. ID, and who recently died at the
age of 81 years.
The eastern end Of the 10th district
has received little consideration. and as
two senators are to be elected this year
the time is considered favorable for n
candidate from Pocahontas for the
short term"
