INSTRUCTED FOR FUNK
Hamilton County Republican conven-
ton Held Today instructs For Funk
For Delegate at at-Larse-connor Civ
en- the Congressional Delegation.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. March 16.-The Ham
ilton county republican convention met
this afternoon. 1t was an exceedingly
harmonious affair. The delegates to
state convention were instructed for
Governor Cummins and A. B. Funk for
delegate-at large to the national con-
vention and Senator Winnie, of Hum
boldt, for district delegate. The dele-
gates to the congressional convention
were instructed for Connor.
The resolutions adopted by the CON
vention endorse the administration of
President Roosevelt. The adrndnistra-
ton of Governor Cummins is fearlessly
upheld and the attempts OF the corpor-
ate interests of the state to gain the
upper hand is deplored and the intlu-
ence designated as unsafe and danger
Gus. Congressman Connor's term in
congress is reviewed with satisfaction
and he is named as one of the really
the national congress. The congress-
ional delegates are instructed for him
and the state delegates for Cumnins
and Funk The action OF the national
committee in allowing delegates to the
national convention to be chosen at the
congressional conventions is deounced
as a plan to increase the power of re-
presentatives.

Mississippi, discussed the negro ques-
ton in the south and said he desired
to vin1icate that section from the
charge of barbarism In the south, he
said, the negro had been denied the
right to vote and hold office, but not
the right TO work for an honest living
as had been done In the northern
states. I'VE sometimes kill them for
outrageo crimes" he said, "but never
because they want work. As for
lynahings," he said, sometimes they
have unnecessarily occurred in the
south. He referred to the Wilmington,
Del. lynching last year and to subse-
quent attacks on the negro settlement.
".rlllis never occurred in the south he
said. When the guilty wretch has
paid the penalty of his awful crime.
that is the end of 1t. The mob is satis-
fed and does not wreak indiscrlmin-
ate vengeance upon the innocent be-
cause they belong to the same race AZ
the criminal.
Spight spoke Of the attempt of cer-
tain white persons to put the negro on
social equality with themselves, and
referring to the occasion when Booker
Washington dinad at the white house
With President Roosevelt, said: This
one incident had done more to infiaAne
the passions of the negro and give him
a perverted idea of his importance and
his near approach to social equality
than anything that had been done for
the last ten years The more negroes
are put on social equality. the more
dangerous becomes their position and
a surer death by violence will over
take them sooner or later"
