To The Herald:

To The Herald:
In your paper of June s, c. H.
Pease of Washington apologies be-
cause of recent Misrepresentation
of his about my office equipment in
Mission. | accept the apology but
am sorry MAJ ne saw fit TO repeat
another charge which is equally as
untrue as the former one. The as
sertion that | am a candidate Of the
Taxpayers League Is without foun-
dalton and By all the rules Of fair
ness should be barred in future ar
guments.
A few friends Of mine put UP a
little money for ne. / have borrow
ed a little more on my own notes.
But at no time has there been any
indication Of an unusual sum being
spent by me in this campaign.
l make this denial publicly and as
firmly as / know how. But hence
forth ! expect TO be busy meeting the
thousands of voters over the dis
trio and discussing the vital issues
with them. / will not have the time
to take notice of the statements car
ried in any Of the newspapers by
Mr.. Pease. He is not my opponent
and | expect to ~confine my criti-
cisms to the man I am running
against. OF course il would be i'm
possible to stop and answer every
charge from every source.
/ cannot close this communica-
ton, however, without thanking that
long-distance defender Of Mr.. Gar
ner's for informing the public that
Garner did vote against the emer-
gency tariff measure in 1921. That
measure was introduced solely as a
relief for the farmers. II did not
include manufactured articles, but
provided duties for all competing
products of our farms and ranches.
AT this time the manufacturers were
already receiving protection in a law
that John Garner voted for-the I'm
derwood law. But the agricultural
and pastoral interests were suffer-
ing because this law placed their
commodities on the free list.
Mr.. Garner would not vote 70 ex-
tend this benefit to the farmers
which the manufacturers were then
enjoying.
Mr.. Pease says that prior TO the
passage of this bill the farmers were
experiencing the greatest era of
prosperity. But the facts of history
are that before its passage agricul-
ture was in bleak despair, and that
was the very situation that called for
a strictly agricultural measure.
Stockmen Joined the farmers in a
demand for protection and the du-
ties provided for the wool and cat
tie growers were sufficient and
those industries are now prospecting.
But the duties provided for commod-
ities Of the farm were not suffi-
cient. John Garner would not vote
Tor any measure Of tariff relief for
men, however. He backed away and
forsook their industry at that criti-
cal time.
Doubtless Mr.. Pecse of Washing
ton Is a spokesman for Mr.. Garner.

that the school was guilty of such
