JANUARY 7, 1954
Beckworth Makes
Bid For Race In
3rd Cong. Dist.
I am a candidate ror Congress
in the third Congressional Dis-
trict.
There has been a race for Con-
gress in the third Congressional
District every two years for the
last 20 years except one time; I
had no opponent for my sixth
term in Congress. I did have op-
ponents for my first, second, third,
fourth, fifth, and seventh terms.
A race for Congress in the third
Congressional District every two
years has been the rule, not the
exception.
Our primary problem is to work
effectively toward the objective of
a peaceful world not by the ap-
peasement method, but through
keeping America unquestionably
strong. I voted without exception
to strengthen and keep strong
America. This I shall continue to
do. Furthermore, I favored and
shall continue to favor cooperat-
ing with other nations who with
as are fighting and will fight
Communism.
When the people of America
are prosperous, America is a pros-
perous nation. A favorable eco-
nomic atmosphere for business
and ample jobs for our people
which pay adequate wages are
two paramount requirements for
prosperity here at home. Money
with sound purchasing power in
the pockets of the average Ameri-
can is a good measurement of
the prosperity of America. My ef-
forts have been and will continue
to be dedicated to keeping all the
people of America prosperous.
As one who was Uorn and rear-
ed on the farm and as one who
yet lives in the country in Up-
shur County, Gladewater, Route 2,
I have observed in the past that
agriculture and ranching have led
the way up or down economically.
It is important to every segment
of American endeavor that our
family size farmers and ranchers
in particular be prosperous and
continue to progress. He who de-
pends on producing livestock,
poultry, eggs, milk, vegetables,
cotton, corn, peanuts, fruits, roses,
or timber for his living deserves
to receive the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit. The Con-
gressional Record shows that I put
forth great effort to get fair al-
lotments for our cotton and pea-
nut farmers of East Texas. A pol-
icy to keep prosperous these pro-
ducer groups I have favored and
shall favor in the future. I active-
ly supported R. E. A., Soil Conser-
vation, the Farm-to-Market Road,
and Rural Telephone Legislation.
This legislation has brought, more
of the better things of life to more
Americans — an attainment that
is constructive and one which
should be sustained.
I have voted for every measure
to raise the pay and compensa-
tion of Veterans, their widows and
dependents, our men in service,
their widows and dependents, and
former Prisoners of War.
I favored and shall continue to
support Social Security and ade-
quate pensions for the aged,
blind, and physically handicapped.
I've always supported and shall
support economy and efficiency
in and out of government. A Civil
Pilot's Training program and a*|
progressive Civil Aviation pro-
gram can save our taxpayers mon-
ey. I am for such a program.
I favor reduction in taxes con-
sistent with our defense needs; I
oppose a sales tax.
I always supported the Com-
mittees to investigate Un-Ameri-
can Activities and all legislation
to eliminate subversive activities.
Disloyalty to America, dishonesty
and corruption in or out of gov-
ernment can not be tolerated.
Never have I tried to fit my pub-
lic utterances or legislative deeds
to the pressure of the moment.
I've not hushed my convictions in
the name of good will. I ran for
Congress in 1938 at the age of 25
as a Democrat when some were
running for Congress as 100'/r>
New Dealers and I ran for the
Senate in 1952 as a Democrat. I'm
running for Congress as I have
run for office nine times — as
a Democrat without prefixes or
suffixes.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 5th day of January
1954.
Mable Horn, Notary Public, Cherokee, County, Texas.
I seriously doubt there is a man
in Texas who has run for high
public office that has had Inore
money spent against him than I.
I was never "selected for elec-
tion." Eight times I've run for of-
fice in the third Congressional
District; eight times I've carried
the third Congressional District
regardless of the number of dol-
lars which have been dedicated to
the undertaking to defeat me. In
my race for the U. S. Senate I car-
ried every county in the third
Congressional District even
though I campaigned only one day
in the district. Every East Texan
knows about the unlimited num-
ber of dollars which were spent
to carry the third Congressional
District against me. Furthermore,
no act was too low and no false-
hood was to<* big if my political
enemies at their closed meetings
decided it would aid their objec-
tive to defeat me in East Texas.
My record as a public official,
I feel, evidences that I have had
the interests of my people at
heart. I've tried to be fair to all
and to help raise the standard of
living of the average American. I
know the needs of the people for
I have spent much time with the
average American. During my 14
years in Congress I have support-
ed vigorously every measure to
strengthen and keep America
strong, every measure which has
been before the House seeking to
bring about an enduring peace
and every measure to aid and
raise the pay and compensation of
our servicemen and women, their
dependents and our former Pris-
oners of War. I've endeavored to
aid and I have supported all legis-
lation to assist our farmers, ranch-
ers, small businessmen, aged,
.blind, crippled, unemployed and
those who toil, and boys and girls
endeavoring to attend school. I've
worked to help our men and wom-
en over 45 years of age who have
difficulty obtaining jobs. I shall
continue to help ail these people.
In my present race for Con-
gress, I expect to run as I always
have. There has never been a man
or group of men behind the scenes
in my races. I shall depend on my
own efforts and the efforts of my
wife, 4 children, my Dad, his wife
and my twin sister, Linnie, and
my friends. We don't use the mon
ey method, ring, machine or .smear
method each of which is incon
sistent with free enterprise in pol
itics.
I thank each of you sincerely
for your previous support and
welcome your help and support
in my present race.
If elected, I shall continue to be
as I always have been, a tool of
nobody, a foe to fraud and a friend
to the friendless. I shall continue
to observe in private and public
life words we read in the Bible,
"In as much as ye have done it
unto the least of these my breth-
ren, ye have done it unto me."
