To you, as my neighbors,
friends and political supporters
I express my gratefulness and
unlimited appreciation for the
words of kindness and interest
manifested in behalf of my can-
didacy up to this hour. My
opponent, the present incum-
bent, has held the office for
two terms, and as a matter of
rights he is not entitled to be
re-elected unless the voters be-
lieve that it would lie to the
best interest of this country to
continue him in the path of po-
litical favors. It is, I concede,
the duty of each voter to place
a national interest paramount
to local pride, but if the home
candidate is equal in honor, in-
tegrity, capability and worthi-
ness, with announced views
and policies in accord with
your c untry's interest, then
loyalty demands that he re-
ceive your support.
After my candidacy was
made known a speech of my
opponent's was marled, so far
as I have been able to ascer-
tain, to every voter in this
Congressional District, which

was purported to have been
made upon the floor of the
House, when in truth and in
fact, only a very few words of
the same were so made, as lie
received recognition for only
three minutes on the floor of
the House, with the privilege
of extending his remarks in the
Record. But I have implicit
confidence in such artfulness
not prevailing in the political
field when the light of intelli-
gence is used in giving consid-
eration to justness and fair-
ness.
In different newspapers there
appeared quite a lengthy arti-
cle from Hon. W. B. Wynne,
from Van Zandt County, where-
in he stated that on the 24th
day of May he was in Congress
and your Congressman offered
a substitute for the McNary-
liaugen Bill; that he wished
every farmer in the Third Dis-
trict could have sat in the gal-
leries, as he did, and heard this
man defend the South against
this unjust discrimination; that
they would have wanted to
have reached down and taken
him in their arms and say
"This is my Congressman." Ev-
ery word spoken by a Con-
gressman relative to any legis-
lative matter, while the House
is in session, is placed in the
Congressional Record. On the
24th day of May Mr. Haugen
moved that the House resolve
itself int>> a committee of the
whole House to consider the
McNary-Haugen Bill (H. R.
9033), which was a measure
purporting to give relief to the
Agricultural and Stock-raising
interest of the country, and on
that date there were short dis-
cussions from 38 different rep-
resentatives (not including Mr.
Sanders) relatives to some of-
fered amendments .to the bill
and parlimentary rules govern-
ing same, and during that pro-
ceeding Mr. Sanders took a
copy of the Norris-Sinclair Hill
and gave it to the Clerk to be
read as an amendment of his
to the Hill then under consid-
eration, and Mr.
a point ~f order
character of an
stating that it
counrty, therefore,
charitable enough bo presume
that on that day Mr. Wynne
had, from some cause, under-
gone a swooning or fainting
which prevented a true opera-
tion of his conceptive faculties.
Other evidence I have of
Mr. Wynne's delirious condition
existing on that day he imag-
ined that he heard this power-
ful speech in * Washington, is
because he stated that in my
opening speech at Gilmer 1 ad-
vocated the McNary-Haugen
Bill, when, in truth and in fact,
1 made my opening speech at
Gilmer on the 24th day of
May, the same day that this
bill was before the House
while Mr. Wynne imagined he
was in the galleries at the Unit-
ed States Capitol. At that|
time 1 did not know of that1
measure being drafted or of-J
fered. I never mentioned the
McNary-Haugen Hill in that
speech and never advocated i'
or even referred to it in that
or any other speech that 1 liavc-1
made and no report of such
advocacies of mine has ever ap-.
peared in any paper, and just:
why he would make an asser-l
tion so grossly incorrect I
know not, nor caii I conclude
that the voters of this district
can and will have their right
of sufferage directed and on-
trolled by such unreasonable
and absurd statements that arc
in direct conflict with the true
facts and the Congressional
Record.
I ask only for the voter* of
this district to give consider,!
tion to my candidacy in the'
scope of justice and fairness
and in the light of true facts, j
And it being imivwssible for me
to meet you in person I earn-j
estly and sincerely ask that i
! you give to me that considera-j
tion which comforts with lev-;
alty to your country and the-
administration of fairness to;
me.
Yours respectfully,
J. H. Heavers.

One of the mast enjoyable
events of the season was the
reception given by the Young
Woman's Missionary Society of
the Methodist Church to the
Senior Society on Tuesday af-
ternoon, June 24th, at ll\e beau-
tiful home of Mrs. Tom Mack.
We were met at the door by
Mrs. Wortham Craddock, who
made us feel that tlie.v were
glad to have us.
Mrs. 11. J. Turner then ask-
ed us to register, after which
we were unshered into the
pretty dining room, whore we
were served with the ever re-
freshing fruit punch.
After a few minutes of plea-
sant conversation, Mrs. Edwin
James, gave a violin solo, ac-
companied by Mrs. R. ('. Camp-
bell at the piano. After this,
Mrs. Harney Dodgen, president
:f the Young Woman's Society,
in her usual pleasing manner,|
gave an address of welcome.
Mrs. M. I). Car lock, president
of the Senior Society, gave the
response.
Mrs. Bird, of Dallas, one
whom we all love, made a beau-
tiful talk on Missionary work.
Miss Grace Gist 'gave a read-
ing, "The Irish Wedding." We

"If I shut
there be no rain,
people that are called by my
name shall humble themselves
and pray and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked way,
then will I hear from Heaven,
I will forgive their sins and
will heal their land." 2 Chron.
7:13.14. 4
We have every reason to be
proud of the fine spirit of the
people of our church. Last
week we met together for some
deep and serious studies of
(iod's word. The people came
and entered earnestly into the
services. Then last Sunday
when many might not have
done so under similar condi-
tions. our people came In fine
numbers and cheered the pas-
tor's heart by their presence
and their spirit. We had a
great day. It was a day of
deep Spiritual power and won-
derful uplift.
Sunday School still showed
marked increase in attendance.
In spite nf the hot weather and
other things that hinder, our!
school keeps climbing upward, j
Watch us as we go and come
with us. There is evidence of
a real revival in our Sunday!
School.
Our B. Y. P. U. work re-
ceived a fine boost last Sunday
night when the church elected
Miss Thelma Morrison to the
.osition of General of B. Y. P.
I!. Work. Miss Morrison com-
bes to us well fitted, both by
training and consecration, for
this work. She will help won-
derfully in making our work go.
We want to help our young
people fine' (Iod's place for
them in Kingdom service.
Our services will lie held next
Sunday. We are praying for a
great revival to sweep our!
town. We have longed for it;
to come and we feel that the,
time is here for it to reach us.
We are going to give our best
toward the coming effort in!
this community. The meetinK
with our church begins thfe se-
cond Sunday in August. Bro.
Chas. T. Whaley, of Memphis,
Texas, will lead.
