the WauSeon Republican where
Mr.. Clevenger stated that he did
not want President Eisenhauer'S
help in this campaign or that of
any of its glamour boys.
That he had been elected with
out their help before and would
do so this time.
But contrary to this statement,
Feiger says, Clevenger has had the
big guns, including a herd of ele-
plants, Senator Dierkson, and
Candidate Bender in a caravan
touring the entire district. He also
stated that Clevenger claims, when
pinned down on mis- record on
farm, veterans, labor and rural
electrification voting that the rec
ord is absolutely wrong.
How can a statesman refute his
own record when the entire Dis
trict is familiar with it? Last week
when addressing the Rotary Club
in Bryan, Ohio he denied that his
budget committee had reduced the
appropriation for the United
States Weather Bureau in the
amount of $4,000 and when queS-
toned what he thought of the
statement relative to this mater
recorded in the Toledo Blade he
remarked 'he would rather have
his leg broke than be endorsed by
the Blade" Mr.. Clevenger seems
to possess a hatred for anyone
criticizing his record.
Mr.. Feigert says that Congress-
man Clevenger likes to boast about
his voting record against waste;
yet, Mr.. Feigert does not under
stand why the Congressman does
not practice savings in his own Of
flee, saying the District has been
flooded in the last few days with
campaign cards sent oht by the
Congressman under his Franking
privilege which same advertising
is costing Candidate Feigert
81 200. He points out that due to
this abuse the postal department is
always in the red to the extent of
several million dollars annually.
Candidate Feigert points out
that his opponent charges him
with accepting television time

You run across some remarkable
things when you look over the ex-
changes that come into a news
paper office. This happened in
Ionia, Mich, according to the
Ionia County News:
A fellow met chap named
Sexauer at party, made business
appointment with him for the next
day and then found he couldn't
keep it. Trying to locate the new
acquaintance, he remembered he
worked at one of the local factories
but couldn't think which one.
So he phoned one of the bigger
concerns and asked:
"Do you have SeXauer there?"
