that number.

speaker. E. ]. Ferguson, candidate

ator, was present and made one Of his
usual happy, but on this occasion brief
talks. Sam Sumner, candidate for

attorney.

In nearly every home there is always
sure to be one dark and gloomy room.
1t casts its depression upon all who
enter it, and yet one is often at loss
as to what should be done to dissipate
the lugubrious effect.
1t should be dealt with ruthlessly.
White paint and enamel should be
used with a generous hand. Dark
woodwork should not be tolerated, and
dull or gloomy paper should e avoid
ed. Hang the room in n paper of sun
ny yellow hue, put up only curtains OF
thin net and decorate your walls with
pictures framed in white and gold and
silver gray frames.
Many mirrors, if possible, should be
used, for they aid wonderfully in
Frightening a dark room, but they
must not be hung too high. as they
will only reflect the ceiling, while they
should catch the cheerful frame OF an
open fire and repeat its CLEAN.

WILSON-PERKINS PRESS
DEFAMATION OF HODGE
DisCredited BY vOters-Entire Progress
siye Ticket viii Be Elected

Bob Hodge, Progressive nominee for
governor, stands before the people of
this state, the strongest character and
the biggest man Of any candidate on
any ticket-and yet with all his strength
he deserves the helping hand of our
friendship.
At his head is being directed the
vilest and most unfair campaign ever
waged in the state OF Washington, a
campaign of abuse against which no
manly man has any adequate way of
fighting back.
The John L. Wilson-Perkins machine
has apparently learned that the people
Of this state are progressive; that they
intend to go to the polls and sound the
knell of one-man ring rule. Desperate
in their last stand, they are making one
effort to save the governorship.
Their attack on Hodge is backed by
every power and every resource they
have, pitilessly waged against the home
life and the future Of four growing boys.
Bob Hodge is divorced man. He
secured the decree and the evidence
was such that the court took the four
children away from the mother and gave
them to the father to raise.
The newspaper dictators have secured
affidavits from the former Mrs. Hodge
attacking his standing as man and his
moral character in the community,
Put yourself in the place of Bob
Hodge with four boys whom you were
cherishing to honorable manhood.
How would you reply to false attack
of this kind7 Wouldn't you do as he
has done-stand before the people of
the state and declare that not for any
office in their gift will he discuss the
woman who is the mother Of his boys?
Here is a man who is man. But i n
our comment upon this scurrilous bust
ness let US not be too hard upon the
unfortunate woman who has been guilty
of this crime against her motherhood
she has only been week in yielding to
the temptation put before her by these
political traducers.

Wilson, who is the Democratic candi-

dealing out platitudes that mean moth
ing definite and that please nobody who
wants to know exactly how he stands
on this or that burning question of the
day. He has declined to face even
the democratic platform, and has de-
clared that platform is not a pro-
gram He has gone so far as to state
that he wants relative tariff or pro-
tection,' whatever that may mean, al
though the platform that he has been
selected to represent definitely declares
that all protection is unconstitutional.

William Randolph Hearst has joined
hands with Tamany in making the
fight for the democratic ticket in the
state of New York, but he has to
recognize the truth in the following
editorial in the New York American:
Standing before the Milwaukee audi
ence with bullet in his breast, hold
ing up a manuscript an inch thick
which that bullet had pierced, and
bleeding from a wound which had so
nearly perforated his lung and cost his
life, Theodore Roosevelt really stood
in the very shadow of death, face to
face with that eternity, which as an
old fashioned Presbyterian he solemnly
revered. In these surroundings, phys
ically sustained by his enormous vital
ity and strength, the ex-president said:
II tell you now with absolute truth
fitness, I am not thinking of my own
life. I am not thinking Of my own
success. am thinking Of the success
of this great cause"
In the partisan stress Of the cam
paign there have been those who have
questioned Mr.. Roosevelts sincerity
and unselfshness in the notable move
ment which he leads. But no man
who heard these words or reads them
in remembrance of their tragic envi-
ronment can fail to believe that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is not only superbly
brave but that he is also splendidly
sincere in his present struggle for the
people.
The republic can i'll afford to lose
the energy, the courage and the di-
rectness Of this remarkable man.
