Record: Down in the Sixth district
there is peculiar political situation.
Two years ago Dan Hamilton, the
democratic nominee for congress posed
as a better Roosevelt disciple than
lacey-that is, he made such claim.
He went up and down the district up
holding and supporting the Roosevelt
policies and the democrats would APP
plaud his utterances. A lot OF repuD'
licans were foolish enough to believe
MIN sincere in his protestations OF I'M
dying love for the promoter of the
square deal in American politics and
as a result Hamilton was elected. In
his biography furnished the Congress
fsional Record he stated that he was
a Roosevelt Observation-Disclosures that
may mean. Being the only democrat
in congress from Iowa Hamilton soon
became a valuable asset to the party
and he was put forward on all occa-
sions He was temporary chairman
of the democratic state convention at
Waterloo two years ago and made an
old time democratic speech, swinging
his political bludgeon fore and aft in
an effort to drive home the undyng
principles OF democracy. Later the
birthday of the immortal Jackson was
duly observed at Ottumwa and on this
occasion Mr.. Hamilton made another
regular democratic speech in which
nothing good either in Roosevelt or
his administration, was admitted. Re
ipublicanism was scored, the protect.
i've tariff was condemned and the
trusts were lambasted in a most vlgor-
Gus fashion.
| Mr.. Hamilton is again the candi-
date of his party. He is making
| speeches all. over the district and
while he is trying to again hoodwink
the republicans into voting for him
| he is badly handicapped because OF the
yindictiye attitude of Bryan and the

came one day from an old soldier in
Kansas, stating that his own con-

He's one CT the ola comrades and we
