On April t-'l there appeared in the Clarion a call signed over a notn i/e jdunw urging that Coi. Hamilton stand lor re-election. Two days later Oatnhvell's paper came out with an article raying, in sul stance, that the people did not want a mail to represent them in the Senate who ilisrrgntded the interests of the peop'c, ami whose sole purpose ill the Senate was to look after his own corrupt jobs.
