Massie Prosecution's Evidentiary Fire in Congress
Autocratic party leaders labeled him a Texas cow thief, but Massie rose to Ways and Means, became finance expert, and often met with President Wilson during WWI. The 1920 Harding landslide boosted his rise to Speaker amid tariff and Mellon tax battles. Opponents warn against his aggressive debating style as budget fights split party lines.

Charlie Gaffer Known For Simple Ways In Texas
In Uvalde Charlie Gaffer nicknamed Japanese Cactus Jack maintains his garden and pecan orchard and eats pecans in his office. He is plainspoken and, while camping with friends, Garner handles the cooking. He never campaigned for re-election, and apparently that wasn’t needed.
