Farlane of Graham and Thomas L.
Blanton of Abilene. Their districts

tive Jones, chairman of the House
Agriculture Committee. Seven are
without opposition.

tigation of un-American activities
has two opponents. They are w. F.

sented his district, as "the watchdog

Garrett, who defeated him in 1886.
has not opened his mouth on the
floor Of the National House. He
cites his own record as a member
of the subcommittee for War De-
partment appropriations, declaring
that if recommendation of the sub
committee had been followed recent
heavy appropriations would have
been unnecessary and preparedness
would have been going on the past
four years"
Mr. McFarlane, ardent New Dealer,
represented his district six years
prior to his defeat by Mr. Gossett
in 1888. He had campaigned with
an appeal to re-elect President

factor. To be eligible to register,
individuals must be between the
ages of 18 and 25 inclusive, be
