We would all like to thank Mr. Hamilton for letting us know where he stands on the issues. I had been operating on the mistaken impression that he was a moderate Republican but, now, I have seen the light. Mr. Firth has, similarly, taken a brave stand by endorsing Mr. Hamilton's views, thus, saving us the trouble of mislabeling him. It does my heart good to know that these gentlemen are fixed points in a changing world as true to their principles as they are unmoved by the concept of shading.
