The spanaway Sentinel says: "George Hazard
claims he will knock out L. E. Post as national
committeeman of Washington at the Chicago
convention, and namo the man himself
George should be careful not to bite off more
than he can chew"
The Anacortes Courier says: "George Hazard,
secretary OF the Democratic state central com.
mittee, may be as strong in his Democratic ten
denotes as he is in his personal preferences, but
he has learned by this time that his preference
Is not paramount to party interests. He should
consult the party before making an attempt to
deliver it."
The Tekoa Gicbe says: "Judge Van Fossen
and George Hazard, of Tacoma, were in the
city all day Thursday comforting with the local
Democrats They left Thursday night for
Pennington and other Palouse points. Late in
the evening a Globe reporter approached Mr.
Hazard on the delicate matter of the now ia
nous telegram sent out from Vancouver.
don't care to talk much on that subject, Young
man, but that telegram was true, thank God I
have staked my political future on it. Judge
Van Fossen and Mr.. Hazard intended visiting
all towns in the Paiouse, for what reason, the
Lord only knows"
The O'ympidn says: "The Republicans of
Seattle are talking of nominating Boyd j. Tall
man for superior Judge in that district No bet
ter choice could be made. Tallman is except
ionally eligible. Handwriting. conscientious,
clear-cut and clean, Tallman would bring tire
less energy and the utmost rectitude to the dis
charge OF judicial duty were he chosen to the
superior bench" Mr.. Tallman has already oc-
ba
the respect of the profession py his decisions.
The Blaine Tribune says: at seems that
George Hazard, secretary of the Democratic
state committee, is too much of Democrat for
even that party to swallow When he tee.
graphed that the Democracy OF Washington was
solid for Hill the great body OF the unterrified
thought he was adding insult to injury, and
now nearly every one OF them are bowling as
loud for his dismissal as they formerly were ap-
plauding him as the one who alone was able to
lead them In the paths of victory in this state.
Surely the way OF the Democratic politician is
hard"
The Seiro Press says: "Poor George Hazard.
The definition OF a martyr as being man who
eats potato skins sinks into insignfcance when
compared with Hazards martyrdom. He has
worked for the past year in the interests of the
Democracy and rendered a valuable service to
that political party during the time. Because
he sent a telegram TO Hill saying that the VAN
couyer convention had instructed delegates for
the New York senator, he came near getting
fred from the Office OF secretary of the state
Democratic central committee But the last
straw that breaks the camers back fell on Haz-
gar when the savings bank at Tacoma secured
judgment against him for 81 ,056 Truly the way
OF the transgressor is hard"
The Chehalis Nugget says: "The Seattle Telc-
graph had long editorial Sunday on The
Power of Humbug,' of which 1t is suspected
James Hamilton Lewis was the invisible tent
In fact the reference of the writer TO collars,
cuffs, white vests and plug hats was SO plainly
deliberate that there is no DOUBT about it. This
makes it bad again for the dude aspirant Feel
Ing. rs we do, much sympathy for anything
spotless and pure, We wish to take advantage of
the occasion and invite the colonel to leave the
abode of the hari-hearted and stiff-necked and
come to old Lewis county for season. Here he
will find love and peace and sub-treasury doc
trines ascendant over all: the newspa oers are
kind and obliging and the farmers are in dire
need of an orator who can tell them in pleasing
infections that they are the bone and sinew OF
the land. Come, colonel, and bring your leath-
cry lunglets and your panpered boomlet with
YOU"
