CApNER FOR
THE FARMER
{. II. Pease Declares
Interests Back
Fight in Texas
To The Herald:

TO The Herald:
! have recently read a statement
issued by Volney Taylor in which he
indicates hat he is opposed to John
~ Garner on some vague grounds. 4
notice in reading this statement that
y Is extremely vague and indefinite.
DIR. Taylor thinks Gamers record IS
unsatisfactory. but jus: why it is un-
satisfactory he leaves the reader TO
guess.
Mr.. Garner has been % years in
congress. He has been faced with
thousands Of measures upon which
he has been obliged TO cast his vote.
There are many thousands Of people
living in Mr.. Gamers district. IL
would be strange, indeed, Il there
were not some people who would dis
approve Of some measures he voted
for.
Mr.. Hardin has never voted Tor a
single measure in congress therefore
has no record to attack or defend. He
a merely tell us what he would do
If he gees into congress. IL IS per-
fectly easy TO make indefinite prom
ises and TO pick flaws in what some
n else has actually done. Mr..
Taylor can only find two votes TO
complain of out of Gamers p year
record in congress. Aud as 70 what
Is wrong with these votes re does
not enlighten US, except that in some
vague sort Of way they were against
the interest of the farmers.
Why Mr.. Taylor's sudden interest
in the farmers? i do not recall him
as being a man who has worried
much about the welfare Of the farm
ers until this election came on. II
Mr.. Taylor is againts Garner, that Is
his personal concern, hut that he is
against him because 81 his love for
the farmer / seriously doubt. The
fact is that Mr.. Garner has always
voted with the farmer, the laborer
and all other producers as against
the interests who would exploit this
class and / am prepared 70 defend
his record in this respect If any spe-
cific fact is brought out that can
be given consideration.
The testimony Of a republican who
has been in close touch with tariff
legislation and is the author of a
tariff bill. should be sufficient an
swer TO the vague i~nsinuations Of Mr..
Taylor, Congressman Fordney, from
the great agricultural state Of
Michigan, says that during his ten
