The departure Of this Red Crescent

The big Bob Hodge meeting for Tacoma theater
Tuesday night is broadening out to great progress
sive demonstration only one before the pri-
maries, September z. t.
The progressives cannot all get in, of course,
but as many the theater will hold will want to be
there to hear the next governor. The people gen.
orally are taking to Hodge.
They want to see the man who could not be
bought off, budozed, bluffed coaxed off the ticket
by the politicians to make way for weaklings who
want office Eeen the administration at Washing
ton was used to try to get Bob Hodge, the big handed
and big hearted sheriff, off the ticket. He was
offered the job Of United States marshal in Honolulu
and finally U. s. marshal in this district if he would
just get out Then he was offered even better jobs
in other departments, but Bob was not trading in
public office.
His answer was to get out and run faster than
ever.
The people like that sort of candidate, and they
will be out en- masse to see him.
They also want to see the man who turned down
United States senator and political boss.
When Hodge was elected sheriff Of King county
Senator Sam Piles sent for him. Hodge went to see
him, and Piles put his arm around the big sheriff
and wanted him to do him favor and appoint a
friend deputy.
Hodge did not think it was what the people
wanted so Piles friend was left out in the cold.
That's why the people bank on Bob Hodge The
politicians can't use him.
But the people can and indications are they will
be out to hear him Tuesday night in Tacoma
