OLE HANSON
RAPS THE
COURT

With the Temple of Music hold
ing capacity house, Ole Hanson,
the fighting Bull Mooser from
King county, took an awful fall
out of the supreme court Satur-
day night, then came down to
state politics, and told the aud
fence that Bob Hodge was the
man for the governors job.
Bob Hodge has been the most
abused man in the state Of Wash
ington," said Ole, "and the lying
press has made such a desperate
fight to put in their putty COVER
nor. Hay, that the people have be-
come acquainted with the dirty
game and have stood together by
Bob Hodge,"
Hanson was cheered to the echo
when he finished. Col. Joab
acted as chairman of the meeting.
At the corner of 18th and Pa
cific another gathering had form
ed at which addresses were made
by all the county candidates on
the progressive ticket. Hanson
appeared on the scene just before
its close and made short speech.

The campaign, on the whole has
been rather luke-warm variety. The
republicans who have held almost un-

part in the present campaign.
The democrats have found some en-.
couragement in the fractional strike of
the enemy and are displaying more
activity than in former years. But the
democrats, like the old-line republi-
cans, are bothered over the appear.
ance Of the third party in the field.
The national progressives will have a
place on the primary ballot and will
make nominations for all of the i'm
portant places to be filed at the No
vember election.
The republican candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination are Fred G.
Martindale of Detroit, the present Sec
rotary of state, and Amos Nusselman
Of Grand Rapids. Two years ago Mus
sel,nan was Governor Osborne chief
opponent for the republican no1nina.
tion. Shortly before the third party
convention this year he announced
himself a strong progressive, but lat
er issued statement declaring that
he was not third party man and
that he would prefer defeat with the
republican party in his race for the
governorship than to cast his lot with
the new party.
The democratic choice for the gov
ernorship is Woodbridge N. Ferris,
who is the head Of an educational in
stitution at Big Rapids. Prof. Ferris
has long been prominent in demo-
cratic politics in Michigan. Twenty
years ago he was candidate for con-
gress and in 1904 he was an unsuc.
cessful candidate for governor.
The national progressive candidate
for governor is L. Whitney Watkins
Of Jackson, who is now republican
member of the state senate. J. D..
Leland, a banker of Corunna, is to
head the state ticket for the prohibit
tionists.
United States Senator William Al
den Smith, whose term will expire
next March, has no opposition to the
republican ranks for reelection. The
democratic aspirants for the toga are
former Congressman Alfred Lucking,
Of Detroit and George p. Hummer of
Grand Rapids. T. N. Joslyn of Ad-
rian is the thirty party 'hoice for the
senatorship and W. A. Taylor Of Bat
tie Creek is the choice Of the prohi-
bitionists.
