conditions in Cameron county, stat
ing that while Hardin and some Of
his supporters were making q Wig
orous campaign, the voters gener-
ally understand the influences back
OF the movement to defeat Garner,
and will register their protests a.
the polls in a manner that would
prove definitely that they are appre-
riative Of the congressman's efforts
on behalf OF the district.

merely camouflage, as Is also their
effort 20 make a campaign through
the churches, q move which the great
majority OF Valley ministers deeply
resent" the Cameron county chair
man said. Il am convinced, and ]
believe the great majority Of Val
lqe voters are also convinced. that
back of the campaign Is the in
fluence Of various interests financial

Of Garner. / refer TO those interests
which opposed the Garner inheritsnce
tax and which resented his efforts TO
femov the burden Of heavy taxa

and place it upon those Of great
wealth"
