This aid will coIe through he comn1ittee on agricul ture. A baniker' will try to get ou the Rahnking (and Cur 'ency Comimittee; the four lawyers would naturally like to go on the Judiciary Committee. I am a farimer and, if' elected to Conigress, will ask to go on the Agriculture Com miittee. where I can help YOU. Listen! There are two vacancies on that committee. Of the twelve holdover democrats eight arc lawyers, one is a manufacturer, one is a school teacher, one is a telegraph operator, and only one a farmer and he from indiana. Of the six holdover republicans two are bankers, two are law yers, one is a school teacher and one is ai Hawaiian PIince. Don't you think the Agriculture Committee could stand anothcr farmer? There are two democratic places to fill. If you send a farmer to Congress, don't you think one of those two places will go to him? And when I ai on that committee and it is framing the rural credits system YOU will have a Southern farmer representing Southern farmers, with a voice and a vote in settling how, ani1d what Congress will give you. THINK IT OVER! Vote foi your inteist, forimers of the Fourth District. I am the only farmer runming and your only chance to get oie Southern farmer o)n1 the Agriculture Committee. A. H. MiLLER
