HAZARD is THE BOSS
4 Bitter Pill for the Grover
Cleveland Democrats.
GEORGE WILL RUN CAMPAIGN.
- Progressive Element Unable TO De-
$3.50 the Friend OF David b. Hill
and Enemy of j. II. Lewis.

Hazard is boss He is in charge of the
remocratic state campaign. Although
,hs goose was cooked forty-eight hours
..o il was not served until today at the
meeting of the Democratic state commit
g. Some crow was served on the side
Gar those who pledged themselves to turn
Aevn the friend of the tricky Dave Hill.
S. esiIl. those same fellows have the salts
= action of putting another man, Charles
II n France, of South Bend. in as secretary.
And vet there is but little relish in this
vben it is known that tho creation of the
fellows who ate crow today has to take has
orders from Boss Hazard.
Hazard is promoted to the chairman
ahip of the advisory committee which is
70 manage the campaign. He also seems
70 have got his friends named on this COM
pittee. The Democratic candidates from
Mr.. Snively down had to come into line
and do Hazards bidding. Even the
Tacoma kids" could not knock him out.
Ditto the Seattle youngsters. There is
plenty OF retching by the crow eaters, but
there is no relief.
There is obviously much uncertainty
regarding Hazards authority and the inn
por.ance of his position. The situation as
presen:ed to the committee was that
Z George is an encyclopaedia of Democratic
& doctrine, possessing, besides, executive
D ability and shrewdness. Therefore it was
recommended by the committee as a whole
that the executive committee respectful y
lend ear to what Georges advisory COM
mittee might have to say during the cam-
psign. Still. it is held that the executive
committee need not pay the least atten-
ton to the advisory board if it does not see
81 Those who want Hazard downed
find solace in the latter view, while those
who point to him as tower of strength
~ he will have entire charge of the cam
pagn. But the Hazard haters simply re-
ply TO this that if he Is ''in it" then they
don't want to be Democrats any longer.
Drum will have charge of all the funds.
II was said this morning that Hazard
would be deposed because he supported
Dave Hill, but those who said it and those
who tried to depose him at the state con-
i ysntion saw him bob up serenely with a
proxy when the committee met. When
the executive committee went into secret
session, George was left outside. Dis
gusted ones say it is case Of straddle,
hoping to please everybody.
