HALL, of Per son County, Chairman of Tobac co Growers' Advisory Commit- "Please accept my sincere con gratulations on your announce ment for the United States Sen ate. I "When the people of this State know your record as we in the District know it, they will welcome the opportunity to promote you to this position of dignity and re sponsibility. Though your ser vices as a Member of the House have been extended to our peo ple in many helpful ways, I can not but feel that your work for the tobacco growers in our State constitutes your outstanding achievement. I only wish that all of them could have had the op portunity that I have had to view on numerous occasions, and par ticularly in the dark days of 1933, the intelligent and vigorous fight which you made in their behalf. I therefore feel confident that a large majority of the farmers in North Carolina will give your candidacy their whole-hearted support." CONGRESMAN FRED VINSON. Chairman of the Tobacco Sub- Committee of the Ways and Means Committee of The House of Representatives— "I know of no Member of Con gress who takes his duties as a Representative more seriously than does Frank Hancock. He is one of the real working members of the House. I represent a great tobacco district in Kentucky and it so happens that I became ac quainted with him on the first day of his service. From that day until now, he has been one of the most consistent workers in the cause of the tobacco farmer, in every character of legislation in the Congress of the United States."

Member of the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Rep resentatives at Nashville in a speech on the proposed surplus control program to be consid ered at the special session of Congress stated: "There can be no control other than compulsory control. Such a program must be carefully work ed out, however, so as to insure fair play and protection to large and small growers alike. In keep ing with true democratic princi ples, Congress will not and should not, in my judgment, undertake to make such control program effective unless a majority of the farmers so affected express by referendum their approval.' Mr. Hancock further reiterated what he has publicly said on many oc casions. that "the economic life blood and prosperity of North Carolina depend in a large meas ure upon profitable prices of all our agricultural products."

Not only h*s Frank Hancock supported this legisla tion, but I frequently consulted with him because of his good judgment and information along these lines.

He is thoroughly inform ed on this subject, and the tobac co producers owe him i debt of gratitude for his fine work i i their behalf. lam happy to com mend the character of the services of Congressman Hancock."

Mr. Hancock further stated that members of the North Carolina delegation were bending every effort to write into the law ade quate protection for small grow ers, many of whom had been forced fo r lack of financial assist ance , prior to the A. A. A. pro gram, to drastically curtail then acreage. He also said that no program would be fair that Jid not make reasonable provision for tak ing care of new bona fide growers and especially young farmers in terested in owning and cultivating their own farma, but preference should of course be given those co-operating under the Soil Con servation program. Mr. Hancock's consistent and constructive record in Congress for the farmers of our State proves convincingly his loyalty to their cause and his interest in their social and economic well-being. His knowledge of their problems and legislative experience in ths sound and effective solution of them is no doubt responsible for the farmers' interest in and sup port of his candidacy for the United States Senate. They aJso know that when elected to the Senate in 1938 his first request of the Senate leader ship will be to get on the Agri cultural Committee of the Senate similar to the posiiion now occu pied by Honorable Harold D. Cooley in the Senate. WE PREFER MR. HANCOCK Representative Frank Hancock of Oxford in the June primary will oppose Senator Robert F.. (Our Bob) Reynolds for the lat ter's seat in the United States Page Seven Senate. As between the two, the IVews-Argus prefers Mr. Hancock. We prefer Hancock because he has proven himself in years cf activity in the State and in tho Congress as a hard worker. We make the choice even though we may not agree with atl of Han cock's past acts and with some of his views. But give us a worker every time, a worker who stays on the job that the taxpay er pays him for and gives it all he has. We prefer Hancock over Reyn olds whose major senatorial acti vity has been soft soaping the tofks back home and gallivanting around doing most everything but staying on the job in the Senate to which he was elected. Reynolds in his play buy tactics as a Senator has inflected no credit upon the State. It is enough to recall the actress-kiss ing stunt of some months back. Indeed our Bob has been so busy running around to the lour corn ers of the world, either at the taxpayers' expense or at his own, that he hasn't had time left tj attend to his job. Hancock's previous record «n public life shows him well fitted for the next post to which he aspires. He for seven years has represented his district, one of the most populous in the Stati, in the House. His influence as .1 representative has been large. He has served on major committees. Before he went to the House he had a long period of service in his own county of Granville and in the General Assembly. Hancock doesn't have the charm of Round the World Bob. but we are fed up on charm. Gold-boro NewH-.\rgu« Editorial— October 14th. 1931. (Polit. Advtg.) s
