Special 10 Times Republican.
Des MONIES, NOV. THE democrats
Iowa are making an effort 10 line up
ne saloonkeeptrs IN favor OF their
andiaate fer governor Mr. Hamilton.
IS against Governor Clarke \ letter
las been sent to every salooalst in the
state by Chairman J. ". Reynolds, Of
the democrats committee. appealing TO
them 70 support John T. Hamilton for
governor on The ground tha. he is a
liberal! and in sympathy VITA tAeir
business Governor Clarke. or the con-
trary. as tae letter indicates, is re-
garded as directly unsafe
This letter 70 saloonkeepers. taken
in connection with ms "Hamm' bar IN
Cedar Raids. IS highly Significant Il
shows beyond any question that the
democratic chieftains are relying upon
saloon interests 10 put Hamilton over.
That tire letter Of Chairman Reynolds
5 proving effective in lining Up the sa
Don forces is shown by information
received from Fort Dodge AMI other
points in the stale indicating that the
saloon men have got together on a
safe" list OF candidates. Hamilton and
Connolly are included IN this list ard
their pictures are being displayed
prominently in saloon windows The
senatorship IS regarded as important
by them for the reason that the Hohson
amendments, for prohibition viii be
forced 10 vote in The next congress.
Chairman Reynolds letter, however,
speaks FOR itself II fellows:
re- NYafDac
Sir: am taking the liberty to write
you. appealing for Your support of the
democratic ticket at the coming cleo
ton / feel that we are entitled to this
support for the reason that the demo-
cratic party stands for the things that
you believe in.
"Ycu perhaps have noticed thru the
press that the anti-saloon league has
endorsed Governor Clarke as their can
iidate They are opposed TO Mr.. Ham
:lton for the reason that he is tolerant
and reasonable in the matter of liquor
legislation. The fact is that the anti
saloon league is making a vicious at
tack on Mr.. Hamilton and if influence
is 10 be counteracted il must be done
so thru and by the support OF our
liberal voters in this state.
Furthermore Mr. Hamilton is op-
posed. as is the rest of the democratic
ticket. TO the unnecessary expense TO
the tax payers created by the Capitol
Extension park in Des Moines. We
take The stand that such an extension
was absolutely unnecessary ard that X
has become a burden 10 the tax payers
of Iowa We take the position also that
the increase in farm values Is TOO larse
and unnecessary had the affairs OF
state been wisely and conservatively
handled.
I'VE cali your attention to the fact
that the democratic platform did not
indorse women suffrage, while on the
other hand both the republican plat
form and the progressive platform did
make such Endorsement and do stand
for women suffrage.
The democratic party is opposed TO
the tendency Of the republican party
in creating high prices and costly com
missions TO take charge of and handle
the different state departments. There
fore for the reasons above enumerated
we feel that you and others VINO are in
agreement with our position should es-
peciany interest yourself and give TO
the entire democratic ticket, from
United States senator down, your ac-
tive and enthusiastic support.
Hoping we may De favored with
your assistance on Nov 8, remain.
Very truly,
~ ". REYNOLDS.
Chairman"
