RIDDICK'S RECORD
(Continued from page One)
last tan, and unless ne snau oe re
tired from congress by an adverse vote
of his farmer friends, which is not at
all likely, he will undoubtedly secufe
the passage of this measure in the near
future.
Sees Practical Experiment
Mr. Riddick believes the settlers in
the new and semi-arid sections of the
west are performing a great national
experiment ajui service in learning
»•here and how farming can practically
and profitably be carried on. Where
extensive and prolonged drouths bring
losses and suffering and threaten to
interfere with the experiment before
its completion, he has urged that for
the national good, congress should
not turn a deaf ear to the suffering,
but should help complete the experi
ment, and congressmen acted, very
many of them, on Mr. Riddick's judg
ment in this matter. He was irresist
ible when he plead that, as we had re
lieved suffering in Poland and Russia
and in other European countries, we
could not permit hunger and suffering
among Americans in the pioneer sec
tions of our own country. During the
recent strike, he has secured cars to
help relieve the congestion of wheat In
Montana elevators, so farmers could
market their crops promptly.
One winter, after his election, wh
ranges were short of grass, there cam«
n severe and widespread storm. Stock
men hurried their cattle to railroad
points for shipment only to find no
cars available and no feed to he had.
Mr. Riddick saved many great losses
by immediately securing an embargo
on stock shipments in many central
states and all stock cars hurried to
Montana to relieve the emergency
need.
He also helped get cars for
hay shipments when hay was needed
in Montana to prevent heavy losses
among stock.
Measures He Supported.
Mr. Riddick's first vote In congress
was for the ratification of the woman's
suffrage amendment ; he supported the
maternity bill, voted for a bonus for
ex-soldiers and has voted for all tem
perance and anti-narcotic drug legis
lation. The American Federation of
Labor has pronounced Congressman
Riddick's record friendly to the man
who works for his living. Labor
unions that desire official report on
Mr. Riddick's votes on all measures
of especial interest to labor may ee
cure the same by addressing an offi
cial communication to the American
Federation of Labor headquarters in
Washington, D. C.
