To the voters of Lexington County:
| I thank you heartily for the large
vote given me two years ago. am
now asking for reelection upon the
record have made during the fifteer
months have been in Congress.
I promised you two years ago that,
If elected, I would always be found
'on the job, standing up and argu-
ing for my people. Hundreds OF con-
stituents all over the county tell me
| that have literally carried out my
promises, and. Judging by what you
people tell me, I feel that 1 can say.
! with all modesty. that, certainly fcr
a new man, have made a, satisfactory
representative.
The work of Congress involves big
business proposition. In the House OF
Representatives there are 435 picked
men representing every section of the
/ United States. 1t takes time to get
on important committees of that large
body, to make friends and do big
things, but find that l have Jared as
well as any new member.
z l am against spending SO cents out
OF every dollar for the things that are
destructive, as Congress has been
! doing. I seek to. have the National
Government spend more money to de-
velop the resources Of the country and
I to educate the boys and girls who are
to be the men and women of the flu
ture.
am against the overnight de-
flation policy Of the Federal Reserve
Board and am fighting to preserve
the efficiency and purity of this sys-
TEN.
The War Finance Corporation
proved it's great worth. 1 was glad
indeed to assist in extending its op-
erations and it is now functioning TO-,
| your benefit. The advances to coop
! erative marketing associations, tenta-
lively or finally approved to Angus
10, for the purpose Of assisting in
financing the orderly marketing of
agricultural products during the com
ing season, total O4,000,000.
ain responsible for the passage of
an amendment relieving your State,
county and community agriculture
fairs from? taxation on exhibits, enter
tainments and other pay features.
SUCCEEDED "a in having cancelled a
tariff issued by the railroads, which
was approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, which forbade
the chipping of hogs in double-decked
cars from North Carolina, South
Carolina and - Georgia. This will
save for the producers of hogs in
these parts thousands Of dollars.
I am responsible for the calling, by
the Federal Reserve Board in Wash
'ingtoa, of a conference of the Fedora
Reserve banks Of the South in July
1921, and at my request they issued {
statement declaring that they would
furnish the money to market the cror
of 1921, in addition to credits already
extended. From what I know of the
most acute situation at that time, this
one statement Of the Federal Reserve
banks, made solely upon my writte.
request, saved hundreds Of banks and
thousands Of farmers from going into
bankruptcy in the fall of 1921.
am in favor making a contrac'
with Henry Ford to operate Muscle
Shoals.
In an article in the June "a, 1922
issue cf Mr.. Ford's magazine, on tht
ways and doings of Congress, appear
this statement, showing that ! have
made some impression Oh Mr.. Ford:
