Relative TO the emergency tariff.

fact that it proposed to increase the

vote Of Garner on these measures.
Congressman Garner will sup

asserted. He will fight for an
equalized tariff, a tariff that will
grant 70 agriculture the same meas
ure Of protection awarded industry.
a tariff that will not compel the
farmer TO pay exorbitant prices for
all manufactured products and sell
MS own products in an unprotected

Judge Yates also called attention

Millions of Families Depend
on DR.. Caldwell's Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there we're drastic phys
les and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DIR. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human be-
lngs to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name Of DR.. Cnld-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and IL now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions Of bottles are used a wear
proves that IL has won the confidence
of people who needed il to get re-
lief from headaches, hiliousness,
fiatulence, indigestion, loss Of appe-
title and sleep, bad breath. dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
Millions Of families are now never
without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and IL you will once start using
il you will also always have a bot
tie handy for emergencies.

forcement IL the issue. He charged
that Hardin misrepresented Gamers
record on the volstead act; that the
congressman lad voted twice fog the
measure and has consistently sup
ported every measure to strengthen
federal prohibition. He condemned
the attack launched by Hardin upon
the late Judge James II. Wells, who.
he asserted. had been a leader amonR
the men who had paved the way for
development OF the Valley.
Relative to the tariff he said that
az the time the measure was passed
there were practically no tomatoes
grown in South Texas; that the in
dustry has been developed since that
time. and that Garner is now and has
for some time past been making
every possible effort TO secure 4
recommendation from the tariff COM
mission for the maximum increase.
Judge Yates queried Mr.. Hardin
direct as to his stand upon the in
heritance tax. opposed by Secretary
Mellon and the Tax Payers League,
but elected nc definite reply. The
speaker depicted the inheritance tax
as the only method whereby eccumu-
lated wealth can be gradually return
cd to the channels OF finance and
commerce, thereby assuring national
prosperity instead Of prosperity for
a limited number, and lauded the
leadership assumed by Garner in be-
half Of this bill in opposition to Sec
rotary Mellon and the Tax Payers
League. which he depicted rs an or
~ganiZation formed for the sole pur-
pose of lobbying.
Hardin had presented n series OF
questions to Judge Yates, one Of
which asked If Yates would make an
affidavit that John Garner IL not the
best poker player in congress. To
this the judge replied that so far as
his own knowledge IL concerned he
could make the affidavit. To another
question as to Mr.. Garner using in
toxicants, Mr. Yates replied that he
had known Congressman Garner
since 1911, and had never known him
70 drink intoxicants.
Il would advise Mr.. Hardin to put
that question direct to Mr.. Garner
Judge Yates said. Garner never
sought to hide behind falsehoods or
misrepresentation. II he does not
take a drink he will tell you SO; il
ne does. he will be equally frank"
That the large audience was great
III interested was manifested BY the
close attention given the speakers.
Both Hardin and Garner partisans
were present in numbers and both
speakers were frequently interrupted
by applause.

drew Mellon, who Judge Yates stated
was the third richest man in the
world.
Judge Yates review briefly the
work Of John Garner in connection
with the Valleys deep water port
and conservation Of Rio Grande wa
tiers. asserting that u was through
his influence the Swing-Johnson bill
was amended to prevent California
taking all the waters Of the Colorado
and leaving the Valley at the mercy
Of Mexico in the distribution Of Rio
Grande waters.
Claims Tariff Issue
Mr.. Hardin asserted that the tariff
is the issue and that his obiective
will be a protective tariff on the
products OF the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. He claimed the Valley
farmers are losing millions OF dol
lars annually through foreign COM
petition in the winter vegetable mar
kets; that the tomato growers OF
Mexico and onion growers Of Spain
and Egypt are flooding the Valleys
markets.
The candidate charged that Con-
gresham Garner had opposed the
emergency tariff, which he stated was
designed to protect agriculture, and
then read the items in the bill which
covered wheat. corn. cotton and other
staples, including sugar on which a
70 per cent advalorem rate was pro-
posed.
Relative to Gamers prohibition
record he charged the congressman
had opposed the Nolstead act, and had
not voted 10 pass 1T over the veto Of
President Wilson. He pictured Con-
gresham Garner as the candidate Of
the ring" which he characterized
as the old regime on the border,
stating that the supporters OF the
congressman in Brownsville were the
! relics Of 'the old Jim Wells ma
chine" He asserted he had received
information from a good Methodist
at Uvalde that Congressman Garner
recently placed a quarter Of a barrel
Of whiskey in the cellar of his home,
and introduced an anonymous let
ter ~purporting 10 charge that Garner
had stated he would vote against the
eighteenth amendment. Mr.. Hardin
asserted that he, himself, is a pro-
hibitionist and would earnestly sup
port the eighteenth amendment and
all laws in connection Herewith. He
also charged that Garner had written
some individual, whose name was not
divulged. but whom he asserted was
a Catholic. that Hardin ~ a Baptist,
implying that Garner was endeavor-
ing TO inject n religious issue. As n
his war record, upon which he had
been queried by Judge Yates, he
made no definite statement. and rela-
tive TO the inheritance TAX he assert
cd he was in accord with the Garner
clubs.
Mr.. Hardin paid his respects to the
newspapers, asserting that "the free
and untrammclcd press" OF the dis
trict is supporting him. and charged
that the others are influenced nr
dominated by the opposition. includ-
ing the Houston and San Antonio pa
pers. lie also charged that Garner IN
using his franking privilege in the
distribution Of campaign literature.
Relative 70 q Valley port. and con
servation Of Rio Grande waters he
asserted he was in sympathy with
and would support both projects.
charging that Garner had not OK
hibitcd proper diligence IN conncc-
ton with the Valleys port project.

prohibition is not an issue-that en-
