the PROCTOR a GAMBLE co. OMIT

In JDlS issue we announce Oul
countyman, Col. A. w. Hamilton
as candidate for Congress from
this district. Col. Hamilton enters
this race just little late, it may
be, but still at time when the
fight is yet anybody's. Col. Ham
ilton is just the man to make il
warm for all of his opponents before
the voting is over. He is wide.
awake, aggressive man, who, while
he has been an active worker in
the Democratic ranks, has always
been content to work as private
citizen, never having asked for
office at the hands of his party.
He has been a princely contributor
to the campaign funds of his party
in this section, and few men who
have been candidates for Office in
this part of the State but are more
or less under obligation to him for
the substantial support he has rem
lered them as nominees. He is a
man of integrity and ability, clean
handed and clear headed, who loves
his friends and is firmly grounded
in the principles of the Democratic
faith.
Col. Hamilton is a true man, who
never sold out friend or failed to
let his position be known on any
question before the people. He is
a man of wide reading, extensive
travel, close observation and an
earnest student Of matters political
both State and National, who has
ideas of his own on all matters of
public moment. The Colonel is
a fluent and entertaining speaker,
never at loss for words to ex-
press his thoughts, and is man
who has thought out for himself a
position on nearly every public
question now before the people.
OF this one thing we are assured,
Colonel Hamilton is in this race
because he wants the office and
thinks he sees chance to win the
nomination. He is too true gen.
tleman to allow himself to be used
in anybody's interest. He wants
this office, he asks for it, intends
to make a contest for it, and will
win the nomination if he can by
any honorable means. He will go
TO the Campton Convention backed
Dy an enthusiastic support from
and holding the respect
md even good will of almost every
delegate there, in the interest of
my other candidate.
For him we say he will go to
hat Convention free from any en-
or combinations with |
my candidate. He wins if he can,
f not, he lets some other fellow
axe the plum who has a longer
rm than his.
Should this district send Col.
to Congress it will be
epresented by a gentleman who
will reflect honor on it and who
will be found faithfully discharg-
NO the duties of the office.
We earnestly hope to see our
riend and countyman the nominee
# the Convention, for we are per-
uaded that he would be more sue
essful in rolling up big Demo-
ratio majority next November
han any man now before us.
