Mr.. Hammer has resided in the vicinity of Edmore for several years, and
has amassed a small fortune, and has retired from farming and is now
manager of a machinery company in that village. He has been known in
Edmore a a real agitator, and a most faithful follower of Townley, and his
band Of Socialists. He is one Of those fellows who has been too busy squeez-
ing together the dollars to be of much service to his state or country, and
when the two first Liberty Loan drives were on although he is considered
n of the well fixed Financially men in that vicinity he did not think
enough of the country that live in to buy a dollars worth of bonds and it
has been said that he never even donated to the Red Cross, the Y. m. {. A.
fund, or to any other fund which would aid ur country in this great war;
And yet, he now is before the people asking them to send him to the legis-
laure to help make our laws. #
In our judgment there is many goo reasons why these men should not
have the support of the taxpayers of the county in sending them to- the

questions to those gentlemen with a view to enGghtening the taxpayers of
the county Of som very important matters, and to learn if possible just
where they stand m matters which will effect the taxpayers pocketbook.
