POLITICAL. 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. Twenty-

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
