Bob Hedge for Governor.

Sheriff Bob Hodge for governor of
the great state of Washington? 1t is
hardly thinkable. Yet that is the
danger that threatens a self-respecting
commonwealth unless the drift toward
bull moosedom is arrested and the
people come to their senses. We
wonder how J. c. Lawrence and W. II.
Paulhamus, both first-rate men, are
going to explain to their own con-
science their folly in submitting their
candidacy to primary where such a
man as Hodge was formidable CON-
petitor? He is unfit to be governor
of Washington or of any state. They
know it now. they knew it then. Yet
they have contributed to that possible,
even probable, result by joining the
wild rush to get under the flag of the
bull moose, and incidentally becoming
candidates for the governorship.
Will the so-called progressives stand
by Hodge? If they do, they will bid
farewell to all hope of support or
sanction by the moderate element of
their party and the bull moose move
ment will go into rapid and deserved
decline.
Hodge in Washington for governor!
Lafferty in Oregon for Congress-! Yet
the people rule.

Get Busy. Democrats.

Progressive Democrat
Democrats can win this election.
The Republican party is shot as full
of holes as a sieve. The Bull Moose
party has put forth ticket made up
of all the disgruntled element of the
grand old party of Lincoln, headed
by Americas greatest fakir, Theodore
Roosevelt, a man who was president
for seven long years and never
touched the tariff, the breeder of all
trusts. Republicans are dishearten-
ed The Democrats are enthusiastic.
Most everyone will tell you that viii
son will be the next president and
he will carry our state and county
ticket to victory if we will only get
busy.
Talk Wilson and victory will come.
Talk good government and the state
ticket is elected. Talk to your neigh
Dor about his high taxes and he is
bound to vote for change. Victory
is just over the hill. November. 9Th
will bring it.

When Roosevelt signed the bill ad-

said he was forced to hold his nose
because the people of that state had
inserted the initiative and referendum
right in their constitution. This
same Roosevelt is now advocating the
initiative and referendum while others
hold their nose.

Last week Roosevelt was in Portland
and he caused more trouble in that
town than has occurred there for some
time. He refused TO follow the pro-
gram outlined for him, bera'cd his
committee on arrangements Tor the
plans made, severely denounced the
manager of his hotel because book
he vas reading was lost, and was in
bad humor all around. He also
jumped all over Thomas McCusker,
LA Follette's manager in Oregon, and
called him a modern Judas. In an
open letter Mr. McCusker answered
Roosevelt, and declared he was either
crazy or drunk. The truth OF the
matter probably is that King Theo-
dore is greatly chagrined by his rather
cold reception in the Northwest and
is peeyed because his presidential
boom is petering out. And his staun-
chest supporters have to confess that
his chances are lessening each day.

There were twin brothers in this

Joe replied: THE weight OF the

was intended 10 crush Bitter Creeks
ambition with one decisive blow, and
the plans bid fair 10 draw most OF the

When he rode up 10 the Diamond

Graham got up and stumped into the

Before the end Of the week everyone
in the vicinity knew that David Ora.
