Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 92, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 February 1918 — HAMILTON MAKES NO DENIAL [ARTICLE]

HAMILTON MAKES NO DENIAL

To Charge that He Owned An Interest In Coal Business. Although he has had ample time to deny the charge, if untrue, that he owned an interest in at least one of the local coal yards during the time he was spreading camouflage so Industriously around the retail business here through the columns of the Republican and was devoting much of his valuable time in the retail coal offices and giving “valuable help and advice’’——even though it may have been unsolicited—to the county fuel administrator, no denial of the charge has been made by the editor of The Republican. and the public can draw its owh conclusions as to why no denial has been made and therefore see where his interest in the matter lay. The fact is that he could make no denial and has kept discreetly silent on making a direct reply. However, The Democrats renews the challenge to him and asks that he make public denial if the charge is not true.
