Tony Farris, Republican candidate for Congress from the Eleventh District, spoke to the West Baytown Kiwanis Club Monday. He assailed Democratic planks on civil rights, depletion allowances, and foreign policy, contrasted with Republican calls for fiscal responsibility and states’ rights, and criticized Sen.
