ADVERTISEHEXT To My Friends and Constituents: In aa much as my opponeDt baa been travelling about the • district " crltirlsng me and spreading charges that hare no foundattlon.. and has gone so far aa to boldly publish .much of that which he has been saying behind my back. I deem It wise to plac# before you a brief statement of my service*: In the beginning let me say, I do not believe in this unmanly and cheap plan of campaigning, I air running upon my merits c-nd not his deme-it* c- o?st recced, no matter what It may have beei*. 1 have endeavored throughout to avol criticising him or discuss ing his past life, and have made no charges against him either on or off the stump. Wherever I hare spoken In his absence, I refused to discuss the matter of his op position or to ever mention hia name. Many of my friends think 1 am unwise in adopting this course; but frankly I prefer to lose votes than be wrong. I always make a clean fight, and take the and respect of the people whom I represent, as well as their votes; I wish to be looked upon as a State man than a cher-p politician. How- ✓ ever, in spite of the respectful treat ment tdiave accorded the gentle man, he continues to attack me drainage queation also, under our good roads plan the county receives fifteen dolinra per mile for ever}' mile of road used by the govern ment for post road, star route and rural route. A route twenty miles long will draw three hundred Aol^ iara per year* for the ordinary aand- road, four bunJred per year when It la gravelled, etc., and five hun dred, when In perfect condition. And this money when paid belot^s to the county and c&a be used any where on any of Its other roads. Now don’t understand me aa claim ing that I did this myself. It was done by about thirty of us. There are nearly 400 Congressmen and no one man can put through a thing of this kind by himself. None buta fool would say that he could Of course my opponent says he will do nil of these things by himself, and 1 do not meM to call him a fool. To the contrary he thinks the people are fools and he la smirt enough to make these rash wild cat promises in hopes of fooling them. But to return to good roads, there are a number of men in congress who like myself have the Interest of the rural district at heart, and are always ready ar#J willing and anxious to do things that will help the farmer.

Printed rec ords are only disregarded, by those who scorn truth, and hope to gain votes by boldly fooling the Ignor ant. Nor do I object to hla doing thla for I do not believe there vise a plan to get around the con stitution. At this meeting we thrash ed oat m’plan to pny this money to a county as a rental Just as the government Is now paying rent for post offices. It was n good plan It was constitutional and w* worked hard on it and forced Its psaaage through the house, and as soon as it give you first class roads, all orer becomes operative it Is going to your county.

IBut my friends Is there ary truth in nny of his charges? Ab solutely no. When you elected me to Congress we had less than ten Rural Mall Routes In the District and the carriers received six hun dred dollars per yenr. To day we have nearly alxty routes and the carriers get one thousand and eighty dolinra perp»nr. Elghty-one of thcee new routes were gotten through my Individual efforts and work, and it has been through the efforts and hard work of myself and a rcimher of other Southern Co greasmen, who have.this work r* heart, that the carriers have had their salaries raised year by year, j The gentlemnn says anyone can get ; a rural route, but of course, he Is' Ignorant on these subjects, and , does not know why 1 have worked j hard on some routes for over a year before securing their establish- [ ment and no route Is ever establish . ed without a fight. The post ; Office department r.lways .rlea 1 to keep down the number of mutes. J because each one Is an additional expense, and they never establish them unless urged and pressed to do so. And next comes farm de- monstratlcn work. This Is a new thing started solely for the farmer. And I have worked hard to secure the appropriations to carry on this work This spring when the r-Ttl- cultural bill was up before Congress 1 with oro other man made a fight to Increase the amount named for this work and we won the'fight, nnd added sixty thousand dollars to the bill. And today this experiment al demonstration wortt Is being car ried on H* every countp In my district. I secured the assistance of the government In the drainage work being carried on tn certain counties In the district to the ex tent of having all of the surveying and will continae to work for them and who Is trained in the business. You cannot gef them all In a day or at one session of Congress. It take*^ time. Remember that all of these ytars, but one. I have beeu working up hilt and against a Re publican admir*Jstix/lon. "We bare had but one pear of Democratic ma jority in the House, and duriug that year have passed r- rural par cels post bill, whereby you can tele phone to town to yonr merchant rr drop a postal and have anything weighing less-,than twelve pounds sent to you by mall, for a few cents cost, instead of bitching np a team and leaving your work to go after it, and we here passed the good- roads bill and many others In the Interest of the farmer. And I have worked hard for ever)* o&? of th-'se measures, aad shrJl use my every effort to secure drainage. 1 know the needs of the farmer. I was bnr and raised on the farm and most of my life has been spent oh the farm I have a large stock arxl dairy farm and 1 know Just how the farmer feels about these things, and I realize what Is to hi* Interest. But I do not hesitate to make one criticism of the farmer. You are too quick to believe every thing that is told you and to l*«ten to s-U sorts and kinds of ridiculous prom Ises made you by people you know nothing about and have never heard of before. I want you to stop and think about these things and to rea son them out for jourselVes You are Intelligent men and fully able to Judge for yourselves If you will only stop and reason It out.
