Frank Haynan Quits Hamlin
Former State Senator, says That 7th District Con-
gressman's Record on MtanitOns Embargo
Act DisQualifes Him FSOr His Support.

entirely out of line with every
speech and every private talk
j had heard from Mr. Hamlin
that wrote to the Star and in
quired whether they had verified
the quotation from the congress
ionaE record containing the
speech The Star answered that
they had verified it. I then wrote
him to send me the congression-
al EecOrd containing the full
speech In that speech he declar-
Jed in favor of putting an embar
go on munitions Of war. It
brisH Hled with personal abuse of
American munition makers, but
not one word Of adverse criti-
cisn7 Of the kaiser and his Huns,
who had been numbering Amer
ican men and women on the sea
for about two years. It was
dated February 18th, which is
st. Valentine's day, and might
well betaken by them as a token
of t he Affection and high regard
felt for them by the representa-
tive Of the Seventh Missouri dis
tric=t IN con gress. He was 50
proaldo Of what he had done that
he mailed 10000 copies Of his
valentine to such of his constit-
ueD is as he thought would be
pleasedwitll it. I would like to
see that bunch lined up. / hope
he was mistaken about most Of
them
While Mr.. HaInlin docs not
lsta1t tie that President Wilson en-
doE-sed his record in regard to
an embargo on munitions, he inn
plies throughout the pamphlet
thathe has had the approval Of
the PRESIDENT for his entire re-
cord in congress. If President
Wilson did approve of this par
tic7ular act it would not change
my mind in the least, because /
form my opinions on my own
|juCigment and not on the mere
thOrity of any other man, not
even when as in this case, / con-
sider that man the intellectual
an d moral peer of any man liv-
inRs. But 1 feel so sure that Mr..
Wilson would never at any time
have approved of an embargo
on munitions, or put his sigma
tn re toa bill of that kind, that
i will give one hundred dollars
to any public cause that Mr..
H=mln win name when he can
procure a verbal or written
st -atement from the president
tHat there ever was time that

mature, Mr.. Hamlin admits thai
the citizens of a neutral nation
h3w perfect right under in

to the belligerents the same as
amy other kind of supplies that

i'm which she did not participate.
In the war between the British
and Beers she sold munitions to
both belligerents. In our war
with Spain, she sold munitions
to Spain. Why does Mr.. Hamlin

Dear Sirs: ] have just read
in your issue Of June S0th the
article written by Mr.. Hamlin

and the state senate on the
same ticket more than ten years
ago. From that day to this we
have been intimate friends, and
II have supported him in every
election. ! have never received
at his hands anything but the
most courteous and considerate
treatment, and have always felt
towards him the sentiments
that are naturally generated by
such treatment.

highest regard both for his
character and ability. But when
he became a candidate against
Mr.. Hamlin, while it was a choice

Hamlin. AT the beginning Of the
present contest ! received a let

which has disqualified him fol-
my support, if he were my own
brother. It was a speech which
he made in February, 1916. Mr.
Hamlin, in commenting on this

statement:
Everybody knows that Mr.
Major was a candidate against
me two years ago this summer
That speech not only appeared
lin the congressional record, but
| had 20 thousand copies of II
printed, and distributed over the

my position was wrong and mer-
