GILBERT E, HAMAKER
IN The L|MEL|GHT
Former Local Democrat No.
ferrous Through Tele-
gram to Wilson.

\ few days ago The Associated Press
carried a story of a telegram sent by
e. h. Haluaker, chairman of the
MultnOmah county Democratic central
committee OF Portland, Oregon, to
President Wilson, asking the president
il it were important that candidates
be nominated pledged to ratify the
Versailles treaty without the Lodge
reservations. The president replied at
length, declaring that the Democratic
party should stand ratification without
reservation, at whatever cost. The
telegram of Mr.. Hamaker has brought
him into the limelight and politicians
all Over the country have been asking
who he is.
Saturday the Freeman-JOurnal re-
ceived two kilograms. one from Il
prominent public official in Washing
ton and the other from a newspaper III
portlanN Oregon, asking for Informal
| ion concerning MIR. Hamaker and
wanting to know if there were any
court records in this county in cases
with which Mr.. Hamaker was connect
ed.
These kilograms induced the Free
man-Journal to make some ~investiga-
lions. 1t found that G. +. Hamaker
lived at Jewell and Randall many
years ago, leaving for Oregon perhaps
evenly years since. He worked i'll a
drug store for the late Il. II. Rhode
armel. ut one time Il Jewell druggist
and also member OF the board OF super
yisors of hamilton county. Later Mr..
Hamakcr Went to Randall and engaged
in the drug business.
w. fThn f.oIfI.t 1.nrnl.l ShnS-S that no wa
indicted in 1898 for nuisance; that he
had two jury trials, being convicted
the first time and a disagreement
recorded the second time. Later he
plead guilty and was fined $500 and
costs, which he paid. Just what bear
ing this court record has upon the
present political activities of Mr..
Hamakcr the Freeman-Jo Journal cannot
sought by anybody in Washington and
Il newspaper i'll Oregon is shrouded III
mystery.
While MI. Hamakcr lived III Jewell
he was known as Il very active and a
very partisan Democrat. Apparently
he has since become a Democratic
leader in the state OF Oregon.
The following dispatch was sent out
from Washington, u. &C, yesterday:
The record OF &. Il. Aamaker. chair
man of the democratic committee at
Portland, Oregon, to whom the presl-
dent sent his telegram which has been
construed as seeking to bring abou!
the defeat of Senator Chamberlain for
rejection, is being investigated by
friends of tile senator. Information
was received here that Hamaiier for
merly lived in Hamilton county, Iowa.
and that his record there will not bear
close political inspection.
All the loose threads relating to
Hamaker's past and present are be
ing drawn together and another out
break in the senate on the subject of
his telegram and the presidents reply
is promised for this week.
