The Congressional Campaign

The old axioms that many persons are unapprecia-
tive Of public service and that any man who possesses
sufficient lung power can secure a following, are ex-
~emplified in connection with the campaign being waged
in the Fifteenth district against Congressman John y.
Garner.
While the campaign conducted by the opponent Of
the veteran congressman has been extremely vocifer-
Gus and punctuated with charges and assertions which
are more or less without foundation in fact, the sup
porters Of Congressman Garner are not worried over
the result. They realize that any man who wages a
campaign Of criticism can always secure some follow
ing, regardless of whether such criticism is construc-
tive or destructive. In fact, Texas politics have bred
many politicians Of that csliber, but fortunately for the
state the common sense Of the majority almost inva-
riably prevails and such candidates are generally rele-
gated to the political scrap heap where they belong.
The great majority Of voters Of the Fifteenth dis
trict are fully appreciative Of the services Congress-
man Garner has rendered and are anxious to retain
him. They have not expected him to do the impossible.
They are sufficiently intelligent to realize that a rep
resentatives who has acquired the power and prestige
that attaches to over a quarter Of a century of con-
tinuous service is invaluable to any congressional dis
trict. This 10 particularly true where a district has
been SO fortunate as TO secure and maintain in office
a man of Mr.. Gamers qualifications and personality,
who has gained for himself the friendship and esteem
of his colleagues and the sincere respect Of the entire
nation.
Congressman Thomas L. Blanton, now a candidate
for Y. S. senator, on the occasion of his recent trip 20
Brownsville in behalf Of his candidacy, departed from
the usual custom Of candidates and dipped in" On
the congressional campaign. ITO defeat Congressman
Garner would be a national catastrophe" was the COM
ment Of the Abilene congressman, who has often been
at odds with Garner in reference to national legis!a-
ton. "We have not always agreed" Mr.. Blanton said.
"but / wish to so on record as stating that the agri-
cultural industry Of the nation, and South Texas in
particular, has no truer friend than John N. Garner
Mr.. Blanton was merely rejecting the sentiments
of practically every member of both the house and
senate, democrat or republican, all Of whom recognize
the ability, sterling honesty and unselfish purpose Of
the veteran from Texas. No man in national life to-
day has won the friendship Of political friends and
foes TO a greater degree than Congressman Garner, and
the voters Of the Fifteenth district will prove on July
20 how sincerely they appreciate the privilege Of hav-
ing q man Of his caliber represent them.

II took Janet's breath when Flavia
turned at the door.
But what can enc expect when
one picks up a little nobody. You
can't make a silk purse out OF a
sow's ear"
Janet's reaction was purely one of
hurt. There vas no anger in her
feeling toward Flavia. She remem-
bered all the nice. kind things she
had done. Over and over she said
TO herself:
"She must have been feeling badly
about IL to say all those terrible
things to me-"
Janet tried to mt herself IN
Flavia's position. Tried to imagine
herself getting old like Flavia-and
her pity was strengthened. She had

and tell Flavia he dropped in and

enough. He would Just keep silent,
kiss her a few times. and everything
would be all right as far rs he was
concerned.
But Janet was wrong in her last
analysis. Putty was tired OF Flavia.
Janet. N her youth and beauty. had
stirred in him emotions Of which

| do not know whether the report 70 keep the cam
paign fund under 100000 is correct, but I want to
express the opinion that in this campaign the conf
moral cleanness Of American political campaigns can
be greatly strengthened if the fund is solicited from
the party membership in small individual contributions,
rather than from great wealth or from corporate in.
terests.
This is not altogether a noble suggestion. It was
the announced intention Of the national committee in
1920, and, ! believe, at the beginning of the 1924 COM
paign. If before the close of that campaign the rule
was departed from II was not because too little money
was raised, but because tot much was spent, and spent
in ways that brought little return.
This plan, / hope, will be adopted this year and car
ried through. Important considerations recommended
it. 1t reduces the likelihood. or even the appearance Of
campaign financing by large interests expecting po-
litical favors in return. And it interests more men
and more women in their party responsibilities and
will bring them more actively into the campaign.
Laws regulating campaign Contributions and ex-
penditures are desirable, but the assured and certain
method Of emancipating the party from dependence
upon large givers, with a string attached, or believed
to be attached, to their subscriptions is to put up to
the party membership directly the duty Of financing
campaigns by a great number Of small popular contri-
buttons for which there can be no pretext for thinking
they were made in return for services rendered, or to
be rendered, to the contributors.
In my opinion, the national committee could do the
party no greater service at this moment than 70 adopt
this plan and strictly carry it out to the day Of cleo
ton.
