The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1912-09-12

| that he was quite as ready to protect
the man of wealth if he were square as
the poor man. 1t was not a discrimi-
nation against wealth. but merely a de-
sire to see fair dealing and justice done
to all. rich and poor alike.
In his speeches Col. Roosevelt gave
his views of woman suffrage, replied
to Woodrow Wilson's criticism of the
Progressive platform for minimum
wage scales, assailed the position Of
the Democratic party, and talked of
the tariff, the courts, the high cost of
living and the farmers. OF the Repub-
lican party he said little. on the
ground that he never discussed dead
folks"
Referring to woman suffrage, Col.
Roosevelt said that he had not been
induced to take up the cause of wom-
an suffrage by women who devote
their time to advocating it, but by
what he had learned from women
whom he had consulted in regard to
other matters. He found that women
like Miss Jane Adams, of Chicago. he
said, whom he had consulted with re-
gard to social and economic cOndi-
tions among the workers of their sex.
were virtually in favor of woman suf-
frage because they believed 1t would
assist working women to improve their
condition. Another consideration in
inducing him to accept this point of
view, he said, was the influence in be-
half of good government which women
had nynraicnd thrOvrUh tho ho11nt in
the Western states in which they al
ready vote.
When Colonel Roosevelt entered the
big armory where the State Progress
sive Convention was held Tuesday, and
where he was greeted by several thou
sands of delegates and visitors to the
convention, he was prevented for sew
eral minutes from beginning his ad
dress by the wild applause which his
presence evoked. After the demon
stration had subsided somewhat, sew
eral of the delegates began to moo"
in limitation of the cry OF the moose,
the party mascot. When at last the
speaker was able to make himself
heard, he smilingly remarked that he
was glad to have first-hand infor-
nation as to just what kind of a
sound the bull moose really made.
Commenting on Col. Roosevelt's
visit to Seattle, the POst-Intelligencer
of that city, and the leading Repub-
lican newspaper of the state, said edi-
torially:
Theodore Roosevelt, only living ex-
president, great American, and a fore.
most citizen of the world, comes to
Seattle today. AS such Seattle greets
him cordially. He Is no stranger. Sol
dier, historian; a hunter and traveller
of wide note; full of energy and pa
triotism; lover of nature in the raw;
devoted patron of the arts and the
sciences; a man of startling eccen-
tricities; almost tribal in his devotion
to the family; preacher of righteous
ness as Jealous and intrepid as Saul of
Tarsus; epigrammist and phrase build
er of exquisite genius-a big, brilliant
man who will leave profound im-
press on the age in which he lives,
Seattle will welcome and honor him
as a clansman, tilikum in the real
sense. Seattle will ever be ready to
pay it's tribute to the personal great
ness of Theodore Roosevelt and give
public recognition to the exalted posi-
tion he holds in the affairs of life"
Within so votes as many as his three
opponents polled in his home county,
King, Robert Hodge of Seattle was de-
clared the Progressive party nominee
for governor at the primary election.
The vote of the other candidates was
as follows: Case 1899, Lawrence 1871,
Paulhamus 9S4.
In Pierce county, the home of Paul
hamus, Hodge received within of as
many votes as did Paulhamus.
Hodge secured approximately 10000
votes out of the total of $4,000.
Bryan and FalcOner were easy win
hers in the race for cOngressman-at-

Senator Dan Landon of Seattle led
the field in the first congressional dis

quence, will be the Progressive candi-
date againstHumphrey for congress.
