IVA AND r
INTERPRETATION


I was co-author with Senator Nor
ris of Nebraska Of the bin creating
the Tennessee Valley Authority,
which has wrought the greatest de
velopment Of ancient or modern
times. | got cheap IVA power ex-
tended over every one of the coun-
tbs / represented and into twenty
three other counties in Northern and
Central Mississippi.
1t is one of the greatest things
that ever came to any people any
where, at any time.
If it had not been for my efforts
in the House, the old Hill bill would
have become law, instead of the
Norris Rankin bill and there would
be only one dam Muscle Shoals)
on the Tennessee River, = = and
cheap electricity would be unknown
to the people throughout the iva
area.
have led the fight for rural cleo
~trification from the beginning.
If it had not been for my efforts,
the farmers of this country, and es-
pecia1ly the farmers of Mississippi,
would not have had electricity in
their homes during this generation.
and probably not for the next fifty
years.
We have not reached them all yet;
but we are on our way. Farm men
and women all over the State are
begging for electricity in their
homes; and | pledge you here and
now that, as your Senator, / will
keep UP the drive until we get cheap
electricity to every form house in
Mississippi.
1t is the greatest blessing our far
mers have ever known, and / pro-
pose to keep up the fight until we
reach them all.
VETERANS
/ can say, without fear of contra
diction, that / have done more for
u veterans than any other man
who ever served in the Congress of
the United States.
For sixteen years / was Chairman
of the Committee on World War
Veterans Legislation, and during
that time | secured passage of more
legislation for their benefits than all
other members of Congress COM

member the abuse that was heaped

Let me call your attention to some

nized force prevails that is plotting
the destruction of our country, we
had better keep the atomic bomb,
keep an ample supply on hand, and
maintain the strongest air force on
earth, with planes equipped to dis
tribute these bombs, and the best
trained cviators in the world.
As long as we do that, no nation
will dare attack us; and we certainly
have no desire to wage war on any
other country.
In my opinion, this is our hope for
not only for us, but for our children
and our children's children for ge-
nerations to come.

from the mouths of many of our
disabled veterans, and especially the
t~ubercular veterans, and their Wi
dows and orphans, while aliens who
had never fought for this country.
or worked for a living, were being
put on relief at the governments
expense.
Many of those aliens are today
plotting the overthrow Of this
government.
The veterans of World War II will
recall that when many of them first
entered the service they were draw
ing only $21 a month and some of the
"brass-hats" and a few members of
Congress were for reducing it. l
started the drive to raise it to $50,
and never let up until l secured the
adoption by both Houses of my a.
mendment to raise the base pay of
the enlisted men to $50 a month,
for the first time in histoy, = which
did more for the morale of the men
in the rank and file of our armed
forced than anything else that was
done during the entire war.
I also helped to put through the
bill to give the enlisted men ter
minal leave pay, and to pay it in
cash.
/ call attention to these facts
to let you know that the e~x-service-
men and their dependents will have

a member of the United States Sc
nate.
WATERWAYS
You are no doubt aware of my
fight for our in~ter-coastal water
ways, with deep water routes into
our gulf ports, and for our inland
waterways, including the Tennessee
Tombigbee and the Pat Harrison In
land Waterways, in order to get rid
of the one way freight rates with
which we have been punished ever
since the days of Reconstruction.
This will not injure the railroads
of the state, or throw a single rail-
road man out of work, but it will
enable the railroads to reduce their
rates to meet this competition, in
crease the amount of freight hauled
and bring to our section an era of
prosperity the like which our peo-
pie have never known.
In conclusion let me say that these
are only a few of the measures on
which I have taken a definite stand
in the interest of the people of our
state and our country. / will discuss
others as the campaign progresses"

CONCLUSION

We cannot afford to lose this fight.
Every well-informed person knows
that it is the field against RANKIN.
My defeat would bring joy to the
heart of every enemy of the white
people of Mississippi living outside
the State and to the enemies of the
United States throughout the world.
Please take up my cause and help
us to win an overwhelming victory
Let's serve notice on the world that
we are for protecting the people of
Mississippi from her enemies outside
the State, and for saving America
for Americans for all time to come.
Sincerely your friend,
J. E. RANKIN.
