TACOMA, Sept. 14-tspeciaL George Hazsard
is now "incoy.' His haters DECLARED today that
if he must boss the Democrasic campaign his
personality must bs masked .sy Campaign
committee" So to please the fellows who hate
Hazard and ate crow YESTERDAY. the Democratic
state executive committee, to,.y, alter reading
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES arranged to let George
go it "incog." The campaign cGsamittee, consist
ing of the officers OF the state cetral committee,
and Steve O'Br;en, one of the lids" and Louis
X. Church, of Everett, weTs named as of
this committee. The Neus, TIE "kid" organ,
says: ''its members hava arranged to
devote their entire time and attention
to the business OF tlee campaign"
Henry Drum is chairman Of taIs ''incog' com
mittee, and everybody here Snows he cannot
give his entire time or even q small fraction of
it to the ''business of the camEaign." Hazsard
Will boss the campaign for hiss incog TO please
the Cleveland faction, but dc facto so far as the
actual work goes. The whole snap is thus ex-
planned by prominent Democrats. The situa-
ton is illustrated in the English government,
where the queens cabinet acfs as an advisory
board for the queen. OF couIse the queen is
merely fgurehead Her advisors run the gov
ernment. So Hazard will run the Democr attic
campaign.
After the creation OF the cam g.ign committee
today, Hazards haters, and 20 some extent
those in whose eyes George IS not red rag,
tried to hide yesterdays advisory committee
straddle by an interview w4.h Mr.. Drum,
wherein he is made to answer as follows to the
statement that the advisory Committee would
manage the campaign:
No, the advisory committee RI designated by
the state central committee NiI not in any
sense have tho direction or corssrOl of the COM
ing state cam paign. It's functiolss will be purely
advisory rs its name Indi ca tcs, and our execu-
tive committee will avail itself As its discretion
may Indicate of such suggestions the advis-
ory committee presents from time to time.
The advisory committee Is cosnposed of men
who have been very prominently identified
with the Democratic pOiUcs in this
state for many yeats, and suggestions coming
from them should have consideration. The
affairs, financial and otherwise, of this state
campaign will be directed by a campaign COM
mittee,' subcommittee seleesad from the ex-
ecutive COMMITTEES. consisting OF the chairman,
Henry Drum, OF the state central committee:
first vice chairman, Wilson ii. Talbot; second
vice chairman, {. r. Flynn, secretary, De
France; l. X. Church and stephen O'Brien.
With victory, Boss Hazard c..urts peace, 30
he tries to pacify his haters by saying that
Drums statement voices bis sentiments regard
ing the advisory committee. Hazard is slick,
but he has yet to assure his fsaters that his
''incog" business is going to hoodwink them.
The "Kids' especially are boisi1g over with
wrath. Both Boss Hazard or Ifazzard "incog"
are distasteful. especially the lat.er The "kid''
enthusiasm i'll the campaign is St,uelched.
