| Webster City. Jan l5.-Hon. ]. L..
kamrar of this city, who it has been
generally supposed would be the can
didate of Hamilton county for congress
against Congressman Conner in the
next convention held in the Tenth, is
sued letter to the press yesterday
afternoon stating that he has decided
not to enter the contest. He states.
however. that If the Hon. ID. c. Chase
of this city. whose name has also been
run, he will give him his hearty sup
port. MIR. Chase, wher. asked as to his
position, now that Mr. Kamrar will not
run said. Il am not now a candidate
for congress. This. however, is not
saying that l will not be. have fully
decided tho. that l will not permit my
self to be made a stalking horse for
The letter given out by AIR.
kamrar is as follows:
In view of what is being said and
urged by my friends in this district.
and especially in this county. l deem
1t proper To say that for reasons that
need not explain. l can not and Viii
not be a candidate for congress at tl:..
coming republican congressional con-
vention.
II make this announcement as
consider it due to other gentlemen
who may have ambitions in this di-
rection.
Il wish IN this connection to extend
to the good people of the district. and
especially of this county. my sincere
thanks 2nd gratitude for the loyalty,
good will and true friendship shown
tow2rd me whenever my name has been
mentioned as a candidate for public
office.
Il wish to say further that 1 will
cheerfully and Loyalty support Mr.. d.
C. Chase. should he decide to be a
candidate.
Il know that If he should be electe,
10 congress he would represent this dis
,rict as ah'y 49, i'csestly ~ it,ts now
represented ami would aaes nplish as
much for the people.
Il would like to see men placed IN
nomination and elected to legislative
Offices, national. state, county and city
who have the courage to raise their
voice against increasing salaries, reck-
less extravaganza, and thoughtless in
difference to the interests of the tax
PAYERS. so that 1t would not be nee
essary to raise assessments. increase
levies and in every way possible enlarge
the burdens OF the already overbur-
dened tax payers.
"A man need not put his ear to tn
ground or his hand upon the public
pulse to hear, feel and know that ii IS
beating very rapidly In protest of tn.
wholly unnecessary increase of the
burden of the people, and in favor OF
a more economical administration of
the trust reposed In these officers"
j. L. KAMRAR.
II is needless to say that Mr.. KAN
rars letter caused a big stir in political
circles in this city. In canvassing the
political situation In the Tenth dis
trict the shrewder political men of this |
city are willing TO concede that Con-
gresham Conner is pretty strongly ILL.,
'renched in his position and that the |
Efforts TO bring out stool pigeon can.i- !
iates In many of the counties will fail. |
The feeling prevails here that Mr. |
Chase will make no announcement Of
his candidacy unless he can see a |
chance to win the nomination.
