Is Joe Eagle Your Kind of a Congressman
The Garrett Campaign Committee accuses Congressman Eagle of proposing the Cooper Embargo Amendment to curb arms shipments to the Allies to boost the cotton market. They cite a 1917 House debate and claim Eagle and Volmer conspired to trap “old man Cooper,” a plan that failed by administration opposition. The piece contrasts Eagle’s account with authentic market reports showing middling cotton at 17 cents the day of the amendment.
