Mr.. HA6NER'S POSITION

counties in the Sixth Congressional
District that l entered the race for
Congress in the interest of some one of

that l could harmonic the Republican

an aggressive campaign with all the
power l possess till the election is over
l am in the contest for myself alone, all
statements to the contrary notwith-
standing.
am in favor of the government of
the United States rehabilitating the old
National Turnpike from Baltimore to
Wheeling, West Virginia, and thence
from Wheeling to Springfield, Illinois -
making it a great National thorough
fare right to the place where the great
Abraham Lincoln became famous as a
lawyer and at which city he began a
career that brought him to the White
House to preside over the Nation at a
time when he was needed to save the
integrity of the United States. A
great National military and post road
would be the result of the construction
of this old National turnpike and to
carry it on to Springfield, H., would be
on behalf of Congress the building of a
great memorial to the immortal Lin
coin. The expenditure of the costs of
one or two battleships would be suf-
ficient to build the great road for no
doubt those through whose lands a
great deal of the route passes would be
glad to give their land to have such a
great national internal improvement
pass their homes. A number of the

lieve this government should in time of
peace be ready for war, Proper coast
