BLANTON DEFENDS
RECORD IN HOUSE
Tells Advertisers Club He Is
= Not Enemy of District,
as Pictured.

Protesting that he is mot the mean
est man in Congress, as I have been
pictured and an enemy Of the peo.
pie of Washington" Representative
Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat, Texas,
in his first public appearance here
since the Fenning controversy at the
last session, told the Advertising Club
of Washington today at it's luncheon
in the City Club that he favored Dis
trict suffrage and a tax rate for the
District which would be 10 per cent
less than the rate in any other city
of it's size in the country.
II am willing to give the people
here their vote tomorrow, to elect
their Commissioners, the Board Of
Education and vote in the national
election" Mr.. Blanton said. He added
that he had introduced bill in the
House providing for this shortly after
he first came to Congress.
The speaker declared Washington
could not afford to pay a tax very
much less than other cities, as the
reaction would be unfavorable, but
he said If the tax rates Of cities the
size of Washington were taken and
deducted 10 per cent, he thought the
balance would be a fair rate here.
Mr.. Blanton's subject was, 1T Pays
to Advertise, But 1t Pays to Adver-
tize Truthfully." He cited numerous
instances where he had been criticized
for certain official acts in Congress,
and laid great stress on the incident
several years ago in which the House
censured him.
He described this as being the work
of his enemies and said that the
great floor leader at that time" Rep-
resentative MondelD, who sought to
have him removed from Congress,
was defeated after Mr.. Blanton had
mailed to every voter in Wyoming
copies Of his report on his investiga-
ton at the Government Printing Of
flee. He said in this report there was
an affidavit by an employe citing in
stances of indecent language, and that
the newspapers in "box-car head
lines" had accused him of using i'm
proper words in the record.
Persons Of good standing through
out the country, he added, read the
report and informed him he should
have been commended, instead of
condemned"
He said the advertisement he re-
ceived for "using indecent language"
was not true and therefore it's purpose
was defeated.

preciated the directness and sincerity

me to return to England. was
rather apprehensive that the Ameri-
cans of our party were too good and
too friendly to be entirely typical Of
any nation. and yet further meetings
with Americans has only strengthened
my first liking. The point is that I do
not feel a foreigner-if / did should
not enjoy myself.
when we disembarked from the
Doric at Montreal, l had the -misfor-
tune to be left behind from the main
party. 1t was fortunate in this re.
spect that l had a unique and valu-
able opportunity to see America, as
distinct from American, in an unusual
way. l Travelled all night on the train
to New York, and when the dawn
arose it unveiled the beauty of the

rare and lovely sight. stepped In the
