COOLEY TO CONGRESS
, ' "BE HAS KEPT THE FAITH'
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE
Dnring Harnhl Cooley's Hr>< lefrn, he was t*?l a member of the
great Commit lee on Agriculture, an honor coveted by litorallv scores
<?f Congressmen from every part of (be Initol States. He is the
FIRST AND OXIiY North Carolina Congressman ever to serve on this
important Committee. As a member of this important Committee, he
has labored unceasingly in the interest of the fanners of this District.
His platform is the platform of tin* Democratic Prtrty, ami he lias
sought to redeem its every pledge.
Cooley is the only member <11 the Committee of Agriculture in whosv
District Flue-Cured tobacco is .grown.
TOBACCO FARMERS OF THIS D1STRKT KNOW OF HIS UN
TIRING EFFORTS IN THEIR BEHALF.
A- one who knows the hardships of a "Wage Earner, " he has sup
ported legislation in behalf of the workers of America, and his record
has been approved and indorsed by practically every branch of or
ganized labor in North (Jafolina.
He is a Worhl War veteran and a member of the American Legion.
As a member of Congress, he has advocated increased pensions for
veterans, their widows, orphans and dependents.
He has worked for the passage of neutrality legislation and has vig
orously opposed the adoption of any policy which would be calculat
ed to lead our country into war. He is in favor of ADEQUATE
NATIONAL DEFENSE.
He has supported legislation providing LARGER. PENSIONS FOR
AGED and dependent people and increased appropriations for the
National Youth Administration.
He believes that the farmer homes of America should be given the
opportunity to enjoy the pleasures and benefits of electric lights and
power, and to this end has consistently supported the RURAL
ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAM.
The grave problems of the hour call for TRAINED AND EXPER
IENCED MEN, who understand the nature and importance of both
national and international problems.
We commend to you Harold Cooley 's outstanding achievements and
his splendid record of service to all the people of the Fourth District
and urge yon to actively support his candidacy for re-election by the
largest majority ever given in a Democratic' Primary.
(Contributed by Ibe friends o t Congressman Cooler who appreciate bit I '
efforts in bebalt of all the people ot this District.)
